Relative altitude to your aircraft is shown by plus numbers on top or minus numbers below the TCAS symbol. All Traffic Advisories identify intruder aircraft that are a potential threat and are accompanied by an audible heads-up position alert.Īn Arrow up or down beside the TCAS symbol denotes climb (decent) greater than 500 feet per minute. And, a Traffic Advisory, that is beyond the selected range is shown as a half yellow/half gray circle. A yellow circle denotes a Traffic Advisory or threat.

It is the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft but the Traffic Advisory System lends an important real time supporting role as a ‘second pair of eyes.’ The TAS600 key features include the following: Traffic Advisory System Key Features What are the key features of the Avidyne TAS600 Active Surveillance Traffic Advisory System used in the Cirrus Perspective by Garmin?
