Installation of Bendix/King CAS-81 and MST-67A Mode S Transponder
Overview
Introduction
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.
Your needs
ATC procedures and the “see and avoid concept” will continue to be the primary means of ensuring aircraft separation. However, if communication is lost with ATC, TCAS II adds a significant backup for collision avoidance.
Your benefits
- Compatible with and independent of the ATC System
- Determines if a threat exists
- Provides display and audio announcement to the crew
- Position information displayed on CRTand/or TA/VSI
- Vertical guidance displayed on VSI
- Synthesized voice
- Calculates appropriate vertical evasive maneuver
- Coordinates maneuvers of two or more TCAS II equipped aircraft via Mode S transponder communication between aircraft.
Product Description
There are two types of cockpit displays for TCAS II, the Resolution Advisory (RA) display and the Traffic Advisory (TA) display. The RA display is incorporated into the vertical speed indicator (VSI). By illuminating red and green areas around the dial it displays the required rate, or limitation of climb or descent, to avoid a possible collision. The TA display shows the intruding aircraft’s relative position and altitude with a trend arrow to indicate if it is climbing or descending at greater than 500 feet per minute. This TA display may be provided on the weather radar indicator, on a dedicated TCAS display or a TA/VSI display.
