Garmin G600 manual TAS Symbology

4.7.3TAS Symbology

Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is designed to help in detection and avoidance of other aircraft. TAS uses an on-board interrogator-processor to detect traffic. Only aircraft with operating transponders will be detected. Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology using four different symbols.

TAS Symbol	Description
	Non-Threat Traffic
	(intruder is beyond 5 NM and greater than 1200 ft vertical
	separation)
	Proximity Advisory (PA)
	(intruder is within 5 NM and less than 1200 ft vertical separation)
	Traffic Advisory (TA)
	(closing rate, distance, and vertical separation meet TA criteria)
	Traffic Advisory Off Scale

Table 4-11 Traffic Symbol Description

A Non-Threat Advisory, shown as an open white diamond, indicates that an intruding aircraft is at greater than ±1200 feet relative altitude or the distance is beyond five NM.

A Proximity Advisory indicates that the intruding aircraft is within ±1200 feet and is within five NM range, but is still not considered a threat.

A Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to a potentially hazardous intruding aircraft. Closing rate, distance, and vertical separation meet TA criteria. A Traffic Advisory that is beyond the selected display range is indicated by a half TA symbol at the edge of the screen at the relative bearing of the intruder.
