- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 4. ATC Clearances and Aircraft Separation › 4-4-16. Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS I & II)
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS I & II) a. TCAS I provides proximity warning only, to assist the pilot in the visual acquisition of intruder aircraft. No recommended avoidance maneuvers are provided nor authorized as a direct result ... smaller commuter aircraft holding 10 to 30 passenger seats, and general aviation aircraft. b. TCAS II provides traffic advisories (TA) and resolution advisories (RA). Resolution advisories provide recommended maneuvers in a vertical direction (climb or descend only) to avoid conflicting…

Flight Control Systems Flight Controls Aircraft flight control systems consist of primary and secondary systems. The ailerons, elevator (or stabilator), and rudder constitute the primary control system and are required to control an aircraft safely during flight. Wing flaps, leading ... edge devices, spoilers, and trim systems constitute the secondary control system and improve the performance characteristics of the airplane or relieve the pilot of excessive control forces. Primary Flight Controls Aircraft control systems are carefully designed to provide adequate responsiveness…

airport. ADS-B IN offers features not available in TCAS. Equipped aircraft are able to receive abundant data to enhance situational awareness. Traffic information services-broadcast (TIS-B) supply traffic information from non-ADS-B aircraft and ADS-B aircraft ... different frequency. Ground radar Figure 11-131. Traffic collision and avoidance system (TCAS) uses an aircraft’s transponder to interrogate and receive replies from other aircraft in close proximity. The TCAS computer alerts the pilot as to the presence…
