Ground Lesson 11 TRAFFIC OPERATION Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to accurately interpret traffic data while both incorporating this information into the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process and understanding the limitations of these systems. Resources • GIFD Pilot's Guide • Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) Exercise 11.1: Traffic Information Service 1. To be visible on the TIS display, does the intruder aircraft need to be equipped with transponder? Yes, the intruder aircraft must at a minimum have an operating transponder (Mode A, C, or S). 2. What are the requirements for using TIS? In order to use TIS, both one's own aircraft and any intruder aircraft must be equipped with the appropriate equipment and fly within the radar coverage of a Mode S radar site capable of providing TIS. Typically, this will be within a 55-nm range of the sites. Aircraft must be in line-of-sight of the Mode S radar. 3. With TIS, up to how many intruder aircraft can be displayed on the PFD/MFD. The can display up to eight intruder aircraft. 4. Describe the service volume for the Traffic Information Service. The TIS service volume is defined as 7 nm from one's own aircraft, 3,500 feet above, and 3,000 feet below the aircraft. 5. How often is TIS information uplinked to the GIFD's receiver? TIS information is broadcast every five seconds. 6. Describe difference between Traffic Advisories (TA) and Proximity Advisories (PA). Traffic Advisory is a level of alert given to an intruder aircraft within an envelope of ±500 feet altitude and within 0.5 nm of one's own aircraft. A TA is issued when aircraft are estimated to be within 34 seconds of potential collision, regardless of distance or altitude. A TA is displayed on the map as a yellow circle. When a TA is issued, the yellow Traffic Annunciation is displayed on the PFD and the audio alert, "Traffic", is generated. Proximity Advisory is a level of alert given when the intruder aircraft approaches within ±1200 feet and 4 nm of one's own aircraft. 190-00368-05 Rev. B GIFD Pilot's Training Guide 37

Ground Lesson 11
TRAFFIC OPERATION
Objectives
Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to accurately interpret traffic data
while both incorporating this information into the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process
and understanding the limitations of these systems.

Exercise 11.1: Traffic Information Service
1.
To be visible on the TIS display, does the intruder aircraft need to be equipped with
transponder?
Yes, the intruder aircraft must at a minimum have an operating transponder (Mode A,
C, or S).
2.
What are the requirements for using TIS?
In order to use TIS, both one’s own aircraft and any intruder aircraft must be equipped
with the appropriate equipment and fly within the radar coverage of a Mode S radar site
capable of providing TIS.
Typically, this will be within a 55-nm range of the sites.
Aircraft must be in line-of-sight of the Mode S radar.
3.
With TIS, up to how many intruder aircraft can be displayed on the PFD/MFD.
The can display up to eight intruder aircraft.
4.
Describe the service volume for the Traffic Information Service.
The TIS service volume is defined as 7 nm from one’s own aircraft, 3,500 feet above, and
3,000 feet below the aircraft.
5.
How often is TIS information uplinked to the GIFD’s receiver?
TIS information is broadcast every five seconds.
6.
Describe difference between Traffic Advisories (TA) and Proximity Advisories (PA).
Traffic Advisory is a level of alert given to an intruder aircraft within an envelope of
±
500 feet altitude and within 0.5 nm of one’s own aircraft.
A TA is issued when aircraft
are estimated to be within 34 seconds of potential collision, regardless of distance or
altitude.
A TA is displayed on the map as a yellow circle.
When a TA is issued, the yellow
Traffic Annunciation is displayed on the PFD and the audio alert, “Traffic”, is generated.
Proximity Advisory is a level of alert given when the intruder aircraft approaches within
±
1200 feet and 4 nm of one’s own aircraft.
