KMD 250 Pilot’s Guide
Section 3
Traffic Avoidance
II calculates that the intruder has reached a point where a Resolution
Advisory is necessary. The time to CPA with the intruder, depending on
your altitude, has been reached as defined by the traffic avoidance
system. For specifics on CPA as defined by the system, please refer to
the pilot’s guide that is provided with the traffic avoidance system. The
symbol appears together with an appropriate audio warning and a
vertical maneuver indication on the RA/VSI. This aircraft is now 100 feet
below your altitude and still descending at 500 feet per minute or
greater.
NOTE: An intruder must be reporting altitude in order to generate an RA.
Therefore, the RA symbol will always have an altitude tag.
“OFF-SCALE” TRAFFIC
TA or RA traffic that is beyond the selected range will be displayed as
half the appropriate symbol at the edge of the display matching the
bearing of the traffic.
“NO-BEARING”
TRAFFIC
If the bearing of TA or RA
traffic cannot be determined by
the traffic avoidance system,
no traffic symbol will be dis-
played on the TRFC display.
The traffic information will
instead be displayed in the
lower center of the display as
shown in Figure 3-3. A max-
imum of two “no-bearing” TA
and/or RA intruders can be displayed. If the intruder is not reporting alti-
tude, the altitude and trend arrow fields will be blank.
NOTE: “Off-Scale” and “No-
Bearing” advisories are dis-
played only on the TRFC
Page.
TA/RA WHILE IN MAP
OR WEATHER DISPLAY
If a Traffic Advisory presents
itself while in the Map or
Weather Display the traffic
function icon in the Functions
Legend will flash yellow along
with ALERT as represented in Figure 3-4. In the case of a Resolution
Advisory in a TCAS II system, the icon will flash red.
