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.
