When an ra is issued, however, compliance with the ra is required. the new procedures are the result of the experience gained from a decade of worldwide tCaS II operations and as a result of several monitoring programs.

It is not yet considered a threat. this one is 1700 feet below your own altitude, climbing at 500 feet per minute or greater.

Depending on your own altitude tCaS II will display a ta when time to Closest Point of approach (CPa) is between 20 and 48 seconds. Here the intruder is 800 feet below your aircraft, climbing at 500 feet per minute or greater.

Climb and descend resolution advisories are shown as red and green bands outside of the scale. the center of the display presents intruding traffic.

When configured to inhibit the display of traffic on the ground, Mode S equipped aircraft reporting “on the ground” will not be displayed. also, when own aircraft is within radio altitude limits, Mode C equipped aircraft considered “on the ground” will not be displayed.

For tCaS purposes, G-forces of an ra could reach ±.25 above/below 1 G and increase to approximately ±.35 G during an increase or reversal of the original command. IdENT SPI pulse added to Mode a replies as method for ground to identify transponder.

Non-Threat Intruder an aircraft that has entered the tCaS surveillance volume at a distance greater than 6 miles or altitude greater than 1200 feet above or below your own aircraft. Pressure Altitude Indicated altitude when barometric pressure is set to 29.92” Hg. (1013 mb).
