TRAFFIC ALERT
AND COLLISION
AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS)
(OPTIONAL)
The Traffic Alert and
Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
provides
the pilot with aural
and visual indications of
potentially dangerous
flight paths relative
to other aircraft in the vicinity . The
system uses
the transponder to interrogate
other transponder-equipped
aircraft
and determine their bearing,
range, and altitude . With
this informa-
tion, the TCAS processor
can generate advisories
to prevent or correct
traffic conflicts .
The TCAS
consists of a
receiver/transmitter/processor, two direc-
tional antennas,
and associated aircraft
wiring . Power for system op-
eration is 28
VDC supplied through the
5-amp TCAS circuit breaker
on the
copilot's circuit breaker panel
.
Advisories are issued to the
crew via the aircraft audio system and
in-
tegrated displays (PFDs and
MFDs) . Aural advisories generated by
the
ground proximity /windshear
warning system (if installed)
will
have
priority over aural advisories
generated by the TCAS .
Refer to applicable AFM
supplement and Collins Pilot Guide for fur-
ther details and operating
instructions .
