TCAS

TCAS

Traffic Collision Avoidance System. An aircraft collision

 

avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-

 

air collisions between aircraft. It monitors the airspace around

 

an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding

 

active transponder, independent of air traffic control, and

 

warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped

 

aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision.

TIS-B

Traffic Information Services-Broadcast. TIS-B supplements

 

ADS-B’s air-to-air services to provide more situational

 

awareness in the cockpit of all traffic known to the ATC

 

system. The ground TIS-B station transmits surveillance target

 

information on the ADS-B data link for unequipped targets

 

or targets transmitting only on another ADS-B link. TIS-B is

 

a free service available to aircraft operators equipped with

 

ADS-B Out and ADS-B In.

UAT

Universal Access Transceiver. The GDL 88 UAT transmits

 

ADS-B Out data on the 978 MHz (UAT) frequency. The GDL

 

88 UAT receives ADS-B, ADS-R, TIS-B, and FIS-B on 978 MHz

XPDR

Transponder. The equipment which broadcasts aircraft code,

 

altitude and other information to ground facilities and other

 

aircraft.
