Trafc Display Priority
When multiple intruders are displayed, some overlapping of symbols
and/or data may occur. In these instances, the intruder with the
greatest threat partially or completely overlaps the intruders that pose
lower threats. Threat levels are calculated based on the intruders’
proximity, heading, altitude, and speed.
Trafc is displayed on the screen using the following priority scheme:
1. TAS Trafc Advisories
2. ATAS Trafc Caution Alerts
3. Selected Trafc
4. Proximate Advisories
5. Other Trafc
Traffic Altitude Mode
The available Trafc Altitude Modes are shown on a Toggle button
with green text. The altitude ranges are in relation to the ownship. A
description of each mode is detailed below:
• Normal (NRM): Trafc is displayed from altitudes of between
-2,700 and +2,700 ft. This mode is typically used during the
enroute phase of ight to reduce screen clutter.
• Above (ABV): Trafc is displayed from altitudes of between
+9,000 and -2,700 ft. This mode is typically used during takeoff.
• Below (BLW): Trafc is displayed from altitudes of between
+2,700 and -9,000 ft. This mode is typically used during approach
and landing.
• Unrestricted (UNR): Trafc is displayed from altitudes of between
+9,900 and -9,900 ft. This mode is typically used during the
enroute phase of ight to show all aircraft within the entire
detection area.
The Altitude Mode button is available only when the status of the
aircraft is In-Air. When the aircraft status is On-Ground the altitude
mode button is replaced with the TFC button.
