Description
PILOT ADVISORY
The display of ADS-B data only supplements and does not replace
any operational procedure. All pilots/operators are reminded that the
airborne equipment that displays traffic is only for pilot situational
awareness. This equipment is not approved as a collision avoidance
tool and does NOT relieve the pilot of responsibility to “see-and-avoid”
other aircraft. Any deviation from an air traffic control clearance based
on cockpit information must be approved by the controlling ATC facility
prior to commencing the maneuver. Uncoordinated deviations may
place an aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft under ATC control
not seen on the airborne equipment and may possibly result in the
issuance of a pilot deviation.
You may receive an intermittent TIS-B aircraft display of your
aircraft, typically when you are maneuvering (e.g., climbing turn)
- due to the radar not tracking you as quickly as ADS-B does.
The TIS-B position update is approximately 3-13 seconds depending
on the radar coverage in which you are flying. The update rate for
ADS-B is approximately every second.
The TIS-B system currently only sees transponder equipped
aircraft. No transponder = no TIS-B other aircraft. Always look
outside.
Pilots flying in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) are reminded
that visual contact remains the only means of self separation. There
is currently no indication provided when you are operating inside
(or outside) the TIS-B Service Volume, therefore it is difficult to
know when you should be receiving all traffic information – assume
you are not.
Information shown on the display is provided to the pilot as an aid
to visually acquiring traffic. When under ATC control pilots should
maneuver their aircraft based only on ATC guidance or positive
visual acquisition of the conflicting traffic. Maneuver should be
consistent with ATC instructions. ATC should be contacted for
resolution of the traffic conflict.
The transponder signal must be transmitting during all flight
operations. It may be turned OFF only if the system is inoperable
or if advised by ATC to disable ADS-B.
An invalid input to the NGT-9000 may not stop operation, but may
degrade performance. Invalidities may self correct depending on
the issue.
Other aircraft may not be displayed if the integrity of the data being
received from ADS-B, ADS-R, or TIS-B is not sufficient to create an
accurate target on the display.
