NOTES
The capability of TCAS is dependent upon the type of transponder
in the Intruding aircraft:
The Intruding aircraft must be equipped with a properly operating
transponder for normal TCAS operation. TCAS is unable to detect
any aircraft without an operating transponder.
If the Intruder is Non-Altitude Reporting (NAR), TCAS will display
only the range and bearing. It can issue a TA (Traffic Advisory)
based on distance and direction of flight. TCAS assumes Non-
Altitude Reporting (NAR) traffic is at the same altitude as your own
aircraft.
Intruders considered on the ground by the system will not be dis-
played.
Wiring options for TCAS also include the following:
* TCAS can be wired to display all traffic full time or all traffic only
as a result of the presence of a TA.
* The maximum number of targets displayed (3 - 30) can be
selected by strapping.
* The TCAS display may have pilot selectable range or may be a
fixed range controlled by the aircraft wiring.
* The TCAS system can be automatically placed in standby when
the aircraft is on the ground.
* The manually initiated system self test can be inhibited in flight.
* An aircraft lamp test switch can be wired to control the TID
66A/D & IVA 81A/C/D sequential lamp test.
* TCAS can be wired to give GPWS and Wind Shear a higher
aural warning priority.
If a radio altimeter is installed, the TCAS I aural warning (TRAF-
FIC, TRAFFIC) is inhibited below 400 feet AGL during descent and
below 600 feet during ascent. If no radio altimeter is installed, then
the aural warning is inhibited whenever the Landing Gear is
EXTENDED.
