WARNINgs, CAuTIoNs, AND NoTEs
WARNING: The GTS 8XX Series Traffic Advisory System (TAS and TCAS I)
is intended for advisory use only to aid the pilot in visually acquiring
traffic. No avoidance maneuvers should be based solely upon TAS traffic
information. It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to see and
maneuver to avoid traffic.
NOTE: Pilots should be aware of TAS/TCAS system limitations. TAS/TCAS
systems require intruder transponders to respond to system interrogations.
If an intruder transponder does not respond to interrogations due to
antenna shading or marginal transponder performance, it will not be
displayed, or display may be intermittent. Pilots should remain vigilant
for traffic at all times when using TAS/TCAS systems for non-transponder
equipped airplanes or unresponsive airplanes.
