SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System 3. System Description The TCAS 3000 is an onboard advisory system designed to act as a backup to the air traffic control (ATC) radar and the “see and avoid” procedures. By computing the closure rate and altitude of all transponder equipped aircraft in the surrounding airspace, the TCAS can anticipate a potential midair collision before it has a chance to materialize.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System 5. System Operation The principal modes of operation and display features of the TCAS 3000 are discussed in the paragraphs that follow. In−flight procedures with display examples are contained in the TCAS Pilot’s Manual, ACSS Publication No. C28−3841−005. A. Operational Modes The TCAS 3000 can operate in several different modes, depending on control panel selection. Several control panels are available.
PAGE 79
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (c) Test Mode Pushing the TEST button on the control panel starts a self−test program which verifies proper operation of the TA and RA displays and of the aural advisories on the audio system. The test mode does not affect normal TCAS operation, provided the selected transponder remains in normal operation during the test cycle.
PAGE 80
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System B. Display Symbology The TCAS modes use color−coded symbols and data tags to map air traffic and locate threat aircraft on the VSI/TRA display. Four traffic symbols are used: solid circle, solid square, solid diamond, and hollow diamond. See Figure 1−18 for examples. A different color is assigned to each symbol type, as listed in Table 1−13. Table 1−13.
PAGE 81
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (2) Traffic Identification (a) Traffic Advisory Intruder aircraft entering the caution area, 20 to 48 seconds from the TCAS 3000 collision area are represented as a solid amber circle. This type of traffic results in a traffic advisory. (b) Resolution Advisory Intruder aircraft entering the warning area, 15 to 35 seconds from the TCAS 3000 collision area are represented as a solid red square.
PAGE 82
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (4) VSI Scale Overlays During a resolution advisory, red and green bands overlay the VSI scale. The red band indicates what vertical speed range is to be avoided by the pilot (prohibited vertical speed). The green band indicates the vertical speed the pilot is to attain to achieve safe separation from a threat aircraft (recommended vertical speed).
PAGE 83
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (d) An aural advisory tone will precede each aural advisory when the audio tone enable program pin has been activated. (e) TCAS computer unit aural alerts are inhibited when the advisory inhibit discrete input No. 4 is grounded. An aural advisory in progress is disabled after the grounding of advisory inhibit discrete No. 4.
PAGE 84
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (e) “ADJUST VERTICAL SPEED, ADJUST”: Reduce vertical speed to a speed out of the illuminated red arc. (f) “ADJUST VERTICAL SPEED, ADJUST”: Reduce climb or descent rate. (g) “MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, MAINTAIN”: Safe separation is based upon maintaining the current vertical speed. (h) “MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, CROSSING, MAINTAIN”: Maintain vertical speed while crossing the intruder’s flight path.
PAGE 85
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (1) Pre−Flight Test The VSI/TRA self−test feature provides a convenient method to test the TCAS system before takeoff. NOTE: Self−test can be initiated at any time, on the ground or in flight (if not disabled in air by grounding pin RBP−8E), by momentarily pushing TCAS TEST. If TAs and RAs occur while self−test is activated in flight, the test aborts, and the advisories are processed and displayed.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (2) TCAS Mode Activation Prior to takeoff, activate TCAS as follows: • Set TCAS/XPDR mode selector to TA/RA • Set TA/DSPLY to AUTO • Set ALT/RPTG to 1 or 2. (3) TCAS Mode Deactivation After clearing the runway following landing, set the TCAS/XPDR mode selector to STBY to disable Mode S communication. Figure 1−18.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 1. General This section contains information on how and where to mount each component of the TCAS 3000 system. For new installations, plan installation in two stages. First, determine location of the LRUs in the aircraft. Next, determine the length of RF and electrical interconnections for selected locations. NOTE : The TCAS 3000 LRU, ACSS Part No.
PAGE 88
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System B. Antenna Provisions The TCAS top directional antenna should, ideally, be the most forward antenna on the top of the aircraft and should be located as close to the longitudinal centerline as possible. See Figure 2−4. A 5−degree tilt angle is allowed laterally, with 2−degree positive and 5−degree negative tilt angles allowed longitudinally. See Figure 2−5.

PAGE 91
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL TCAS 3000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System When you install ATC antennas, the mounting area must provide a solid mechanical base for the antenna as well as clearance for the connector. A doubler plate is usually required when the antenna is mounted on an unsupported large fuselage area. Never weaken aircraft structure for the sake of a good location.
