No-Heading Source Traffic Information, Conflict Situational Awareness CSA

Page 26 highlights

When a GDL 88 and TAS/TCAS system are integrated, the GDL 88 controls the mode of the TAS/TCAS system using the air/ground logic in the GDL 88, as well as from the mode controls available on the interfaced display. 4.2.3 No-Heading Source Traffic Information When a GDL 88 and TAS/TCAS are integrated in an airplane without a heading source, they are subject to certain limitations: • While on the ground, display of TCAS traffic and ADS-B traffic are mutually exclusive. • TCAS (heading referenced traffic) and ADS-B traffic are allowed to be displayed on the traffic page concurrently in a Track Up orientation while airborne, but bearing of the TCAS targets relative to ADS-B targets will slewed by the crab angle of the aircraft. • Traffic is not displayed on the moving map with ground features depicted. Traffic will always be available for display on the traffic page. 4.2.4 Conflict Situational Awareness (CSA) Conflict Situational Awareness is an alerting algorithm that provides TCASlike Traffic Alerts on ADS-B, ADS-R, and TIS-B targets to enhance situational awareness. The GDL 88 issues an aural alert when a Conflict Situational Awareness (CSA) alert is displayed: "Traffic-O'Clock,, " spoken once, (where is the clock position of the intruder, ", is the relative position (Above, Below), and is the range in nautical miles). As in some TCAS I TA implementations, altitude above terrain is used to adjust the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm to minimize nuisance alerts. Radar Altitude (if available), Height Above Terrain (as provided by a GNS or GTN navigator with a terrain database), and Geodetic Altitude are used to adjust the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm. Radar Altitude (if available), Height Above Terrain (if available), and Geodetic Altitude are used to adjust the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm, in accordance with the following table: 4-6 GDL 88 ADS-B Transceiver Pilot's Guide 190-01122-03 Rev.

When a GDL 88 and TAS/TCAS system are integrated, the GDL 88 controls the
mode of the TAS/TCAS system using the air/ground logic in the GDL 88, as well
as from the mode controls available on the interfaced display.
4.2.3
No-Heading Source Traffic Information
When a GDL 88 and TAS/TCAS are integrated in an airplane without a heading
source, they are subject to certain limitations:
• While on the ground, display of TCAS traffic and ADS-B traffic are mutually
exclusive.
• TCAS (heading referenced traffic) and ADS-B traffic are allowed to be
displayed on the traffic page concurrently in a Track Up orientation while
airborne, but bearing of the TCAS targets relative to ADS-B targets will slewed
by the crab angle of the aircraft.
• Traffic is not displayed on the moving map with ground features depicted.
Traffic will always be available for display on the traffic page.
4.2.4
Conflict Situational Awareness (CSA)
Conflict Situational Awareness is an alerting algorithm that provides TCAS-
like Traffic Alerts on ADS-B, ADS-R, and TIS-B targets to enhance situational
awareness.
The GDL 88 issues an aural alert when a Conflict Situational Awareness (CSA)
alert is displayed: “Traffic-<X>O’Clock,<Y>, <Z>” spoken once, (where <X> is the
clock position of the intruder, ”,<Y> is the relative position (Above, Below), and
<Z> is the range in nautical miles).
As in some TCAS I TA implementations, altitude above terrain is used to adjust
the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm to minimize nuisance alerts. Radar Altitude
(if available), Height Above Terrain
(as provided by a GNS or GTN navigator with
a terrain database), and Geodetic Altitude are used to adjust the sensitivity of the
CSA algorithm.
Radar Altitude (if available), Height Above Terrain (if available), and Geodetic
Altitude are used to adjust the sensitivity of the CSA algorithm, in accordance with
the following table:
