Operating Mode
Once the aircraft is airborne (determined by sys
-
tem configuration at the time of installation) the system
switches from standby mode to operating mode. The
G1000 displays ‘OPERATE’ in the upper left hand corner
of the display and begins to display traffic on the Traffic or
Map Page. The TIS Traffic Advisory (TA) should alert
the crew to use additional vigilance to identify the in-
truding aircraft. Any time the traffic symbol becomes a
yellow circle or a voice warning is announced, conduct
a visual search for the intruder. Maintain visual con-
tact to ensure safe operation.
Once the aircraft is on the ground (determined by
system configuration at the time of installation) the
system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The
Traffic Map Page displays ‘STANDBY’.
• STANDBY – when the Traffic Map Page displays
‘STANDBY’ in the status box located in the upper
left corner of the Traffic Map Page, the TIS system
is in standby mode and cannot display traffic data.
• OPERATE – when the Traffic Map Page displays
‘OPERATE’ in the status box located in the left
corner of the Traffic Map Page, the TIS system is
in operational mode and available to display traf-
fic on the Traffic or Map Page.
The pilot can switch between the standby (STBY) and
operate (ON) modes of operation to manually override
automatic operation using the page menu or softkeys.
To switch between operating modes:
1. Press the
MODE
softkey.
2. Press the
STBY
or
ON
softkey to switch between
modes. ‘STANDBY’ or ‘OPERATE’ is displayed
in the status box located in the upper left
corner of the Traffic Map Page OR:
3. Press the
MENU
key. The page menu is
displayed with ‘Standby Mode’ or ‘Operate
Mode’ highlighted. Press the
ENT
key on the
desired selection.
TIS Audio Alert
A TIS audio alert is generated whenever the number
of TAs on the Traffic Map Page display increases from one
scan to the next. The limiting to TAs only reduces the
amount of “nuisance” alerting due to proximate aircraft.
For example, when the first TA is displayed, the pilot is
alerted audibly. So long as a single TA aircraft remains on
the TIS display, no further audio alert is generated. If a
second (or more) TA aircraft appear on the display, a new
audio alert is sounded. If the number of TAs on the TIS
display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is
sounded. The TIS audio alert is also generated whenever
TIS service becomes unavailable. The volume of the au
-
dio alert (including the choice between a male or female
voice) is configured during installation. The following
TIS audio alerts are available:
• “Traffic” - TIS traffic alert is received.
• “Traffic Not Available” - TIS service is not available
or out of range.
