The TAS is installed separately from the G600 system. There are variations in performance and control among the various G600-compatible TAS systems. Refer to the appropriate TAS documentation for detailed information on the operation of the TAS system. This section describes the display and control functions available on the G600 system. NOTE: TIS and TAS are mutually exclusive. NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS. Aircraft without altitude reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent indication. NOTE: Traffic is also displayed in the SVT feature on the PFD. 4.6.1 Displaying and Operating Traffic (TAS Systems) The Traffic Map Page shows surrounding TAS traffic data in relation to the aircraft’s current position and altitude without basemap clutter. Aircraft orientation is always heading up unless no valid heading is received. The traffic mode and altitude display mode are annunciated in the upper left corner.

The ability to switch from standby to operating mode on the ground is especially useful for scanning the airspace around the airport before takeoff. 1) While viewing the Traffic Page of the MAP page group, select the OPERATE soft key or press the MENU key and turn the small MFD knob to select Operating Mode. 2) To switch to Standby Mode from the Traffic Page, select the STANDBY soft key. NOTE: Not all TAS systems can be controlled from the G500. The Operate/ Standby soft keys may not be displayed. An alert will be generated when Standby is selected and the aircraft is in the air.

TAS uses an on-board interrogator-processor to detect traffic. Only aircraft with operating transponders will be detected. Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology using four different symbols. TAS Symbol Description Non-Threat Traffic (intruder is beyond 5 NM and greater than 1200 ft vertical separation) Proximity Advisory (PA) (intruder is within 5 NM and less than 1200 ft vertical separation) Traffic Advisory (TA) (closing rate, distance, and vertical separation meet TA criteria) Traffic Advisory Off Scale Table 4-6 Traffic Symbol Description A Non-Threat Advisory, shown as an open white diamond, indicates that an intruding aircraft is at greater than ±1200 feet relative altitude or the distance is beyond five NM. A Proximity Advisory indicates that the intruding aircraft is within ±1200 feet and is within five NM range, but is still not considered a threat. A Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to a potentially hazardous intruding aircraft. Closing rate, distance, and vertical separation meet TA criteria. A Traffic Advisory that is beyond the selected display range is indicated by a half TA symbol at the edge of the screen at the relative bearing of the intruder.

TIS is intended to help the pilot locate traffic visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic. NOTE: TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable terminal radar site. Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS. Aircraft without altitude reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent indication. NOTE: TIS and TAS are mutually exclusive. NOTE: Traffic is also displayed in the SVT feature on the PFD. The type of traffic systems that is installed is determined by the traffic page display in the upper left corner of the MFD. If Traffic Information Service (TIS) is configured, TIS will be displayed in the upper left corner of the MFD. Traffic Information Service (TIS) is designed to help in detection and avoidance of other aircraft. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link. TIS receives traffic information from ground stations, and is updated every five seconds. The GDU 620 displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 NM radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft. Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology using three different symbols. 4.7.1 Traffic Map Page The Traffic Map Page is configured to show surrounding TIS traffic data in relation to the aircraft’s current position and altitude, without clutter from the basemap. Aircraft orientation on this map is always heading up unless there is no valid heading. The traffic mode is annunciated in the upper left corner of the Traffic Map Page. When the aircraft is on the ground, TIS automatically enters Standby Mode. Once the aircraft is airborne, TIS switches from Standby to Operating Mode and the GDU 620 begins to display traffic information.

A Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to a potentially hazardous intruding aircraft. Closing rate, distance, and vertical separation meet TA criteria. A Traffic Advisory that is beyond the selected display range is indicated by a half TA symbol at the edge of the screen at the relative bearing of the intruder. TIS also provides a vector line showing the direction in which the traffic is moving, to the nearest 45º. Traffic information for which TIS is unable to determine the bearing (non-bearing traffic) is displayed in the center of the Traffic Map Page or in a banner at the lower left corner of maps other than the Traffic Map Page on which traffic can be displayed. The altitude difference between the requesting aircraft and other intruder aircraft is displayed above/below the traffic symbol in hundreds of feet. If the other aircraft is above the requesting aircraft, the altitude separation appears above the traffic symbol; if below, the altitude separation appears below. Altitude trend is displayed as an up/down arrow (for speeds greater than 500 fpm in either direction) to the right of the target symbol. Traffic symbols for aircraft without altitude reporting capability appear without altitude separation or climb/descent information.
