CAS 67A TCAS II Enhanced/ACAS II for corporate and regional aviation was the first system of its type to receive FAA technical standard order (TSO) approval. Beginning December 1, 2015 EASA requires aircraft fitted with ACAS II/TCAS II Traffic Systems operating in Europe; must meet the requirements defined in MOPS Change 7.1 (DO-185B). The CAS 67B now includes Change 7.1 (DO-185B) offering all the TCAS II levels of protection required and needed in today's increasingly complex flight environment.
TCAS II is a system used for detecting and tracking aircraft in the vicinity of your own aircraft. By interrogating their transponders it analyzes the replies to determine range, bearing, and if reporting altitude, the relative altitude of the intruder. Should the TCAS II processor determine that a possible collision hazard exists, it issues visual and audio advisories to the crew for appropriate vertical avoidance maneuvers.
First, it serves as a moving line of defense against midair collisions. And second, it dramatically increases situational awareness on the flight deck. Simply, CAS 67A TCAS II is designed to provide protection today and well into the future.
