TA ALERTING  CONDITIONS
The	GTS	 820	automatically	 adjusts	its	TA	 sensitivity	 level	to	reduce	 the	likelihood	 of	nuisance	 TA	alerting	
during	 flight	phases	 likely	to	be	 near	 airports.	 Level	A	(less)	 TA	sensitivity	 is	used	 when	 the	aircraft’s	 landing	
gear	is	extended,	 or	when	 the	radar	 altimeter	 (if	equipped)	 indicates	own	aircraft	 altitude	 is	below	 2000’	AGL.		
In	all	other	conditions,	Level...

landing gear is extended (if a radar altimeter is not installed).  Only visual traffic annunciations are issued 
under these conditions.
