Product Description
TCAS is an on-board radar surveillance system that provides separation assurance throughout a predefined column of airspace. The TCAS II systems work by interrogating the ATC transponders of other nearby aircraft to determine and display their altitudes, ranges and relative positions. If necessary, they compute and display a recommended vertical avoidance maneuver to ensure safe separation.
