The TCAS RANGE Selector is used to select
the range on the traffic display. The range is in
nautical miles. (Note: This feature may be
superceded by a range control on the traffic
display bezel in some installations.)
Note: Range selection is dependent upon the
dash numbers of the control panel.
The FL (Flight Level) pushbutton (Center of
TCAS Range Knob) replaces intruder’s relative
altitude with absolute altitude in flight level for-
mat for 15 seconds. During this period your
own altitude, expressed as flight level, is dis-
played. After 15 seconds flight level reverts
back to relative altitude.
The FL function is flagged below 18,000 feet
MSL on most traffic displays (FL is flagged on
the IVA 81A/C/D, but not on the Radar
Indicator when used with GC 362A), unless
barometric corrected altitude is available from
an air data source.
If FL is selected while inhibited, “FL—-” will
replace own flight level.
The A/B (Above/Below) toggle switch selects
the altitude limits for the traffic display. The
Above/Below selection has no effect on the
TCAS II logic giving TAs and RAs. Three levels
to choose from.
ABOVE 8700 feet above; 2700 feet below.
Typically used during climb phase of flight.
NORMAL 2700 feet above; 2700 feet below.
Typically used during en route phase of flight.
BELOW 2700 feet above; 8700 feet below.
Typically used during descent phase of flight.
