HAZARD AVOIDANCE

6.5 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)

WARNING

: The Trafﬁc Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the

pilot locate trafﬁc visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid trafﬁc.

NOTE: TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable terminal radar

site. Aircraft without an operating transponder will not be displayed. Aircraft without altitude reporting

capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent indication.

NOTE: TIS is disabled when TCAS I or TCAS II is installed.
