TRAFFIC AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Aural Warning: According to the Traffic Advisory (TA) and Resolution
Advisory (RA) associated.
The pilot must not initiate evasive maneuvers using information from
the traffic display or the voice message only, without visually sighting
the traffic. The traffic display and advisories are intended for
assistance in visually locating the traffic.
Compliance with TCAS resolution advisory is required unless the pilot
considers it unsafe to do so. Maneuvers which are in the opposite
direction of the RA are extremely hazardous, especially RAs involving
altitude crossing, and are prohibited unless it is visually determined to
be the only means to assure safe separation.
TRANSPONDER
In compliance with FAA Airworthiness Directive 2006-19-04, during all
flight phases, after completion of any 4096 ATC Code change (also
referred to as Mode A Code), check the status of the transponder. If
the transponder indicates that it is in standby mode, re-select the
desired mode (i.e., the transponder should be in the active mode).
