Manual Override

The user can manually switch between standby (STBY) and operating (OPER) mode of operation to manually override automatic operation.

Placing the display into operating mode from the standby mode (to display TIS traffic):

1)Press the small right knob to activate the cursor, and highlight ‘STBY’.

2)Turn the small right knob to select ‘OPER?’.

3)Press the ENT Key to confirm.

Placing the display into standby mode from operating mode (to stop displaying TIS traffic):

1)Press the small right knob to activate the cursor, and highlight ‘OPER’.

2)Turn the small right knob to select ‘STBY?’.

3)Press the ENT Key to confirm.

Flight Procedures

Once the aircraft is airborne (determined by system configuration at the time of installation) the system switches from standby mode to operating mode. The GNS 530 unit displays OPER in the upper right 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 intruding aircraft. Any time the traffic symbol becomes a yellow circle or a voice warning is announced, conduct a visual search for the intruder. If successful, maintain visual contact to ensure safe operation. See TIS Traffic Display Status and Pilot Response, in this section for a list of TIS display messages and respective pilot responses.

After Landing

Once the aircraft is on ground (determined by system configuration at the time of installation) the system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The GNS 530 unit displays ‘STBY’. As described previously, both the standby and operating modes can be manually overridden by the display controls.
