WARNING: The altitude calculated by 4XX/5XX GPS receivers is geometric

height above Mean Sea Level and could vary signiﬁcantly from the altitude

displayed by pressure altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used

for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by pressure

altimeters in the aircraft.

WARNING: The Jeppesen database used in the 4XX/5XX system must be

updated regularly in order to ensure that its information remains current.

Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is included

in the 4XX/5XX package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely

at their own risk.

WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for

navigation, but rather only for non-navigational situational awareness. Any

basemap indication should be compared with other navigation sources.

WARNING: For safety reasons, 4XX/5XX operational procedures must be

learned on the ground.

WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning

System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS

system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance

of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin 4XX/5XX units utilize GPS as a

precision electronic NAVigationAID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,

information presented by the 4XX/5XX units can be misused or misinterpreted

and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: The GTS 8XX interface is intended for advisory use only to aid

the pilot in visually acquiring trafﬁc. No avoidance maneuvers should be

based solely upon TAS or TCAS trafﬁc information. It is the responsibility of

the pilot in command to see and manuever to avoid trafﬁc.

GTS 8XX INTERFACE OVERVIEW

All information in this addendum pertains to the display and control of the Garmin

4XX/5XX Series units using a GTS 8XX interface. This addendum does not replace or

supercede the 4XX/5XX Pilot’s Guides. Refer to the 400/500 Series Display Interfaces

Pilot’s Guide Addendum (190-00140-10) when interfacing with non-Garmin

products

1.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The 4XX/5XX provides an optional display interface for the GTS 8XX Trafﬁc

Advisory (TAS) and Trafﬁc Collision Avoidance (TCAS I) Systems. The GTS 800

and GTS 820 are TAS systems, the GTS 850 is a TSO-Certiﬁed TCAS I system. The

GTS 8XX uses active interrogations of Mode A/C/S (GTS 820 and GTS 850 only) and

Mode A/C transponders to provide Trafﬁc Advisories to the 4XX/5XX.

The GTS 8XX is an active trafﬁc advisory system that operates as an aircraft-to-

aircraft interrogation device. The GTS 8XX monitors the airspace surrounding an

aircraft, and advises the ﬂight crew where to look for transponder-equipped aircraft that

may pose a collision threat. When the GTS 8XX receives replies to its interrrogations,

it computes the responding aircraft’s range, bearing, relative altitude, and closure rate.

The GTS 8XX then determines the advisory status of the target and sends the location

information and alert status to the 4XX/5XX for display.

The GTS 800 is capable of tracking up to 45 Mode A/C/S intruders. The

GTS 820/850 is capable of tracking up to 45 Mode A/C plus 30 Mode S intruders. Up

to 30 of the most threatening targets are displayed.

Pilots should be aware of TAS/TCAS system limitations. If an intruder transponder

does not respond to interrogations due to antenna shading or marginal transponder

performance, it will not be displayed, or display may be intermittent. Pilots should

remain vigilant for trafﬁc at all times when using TAS/TCAS systems for non-

transponder equipped airplanes or unresponsive airplanes.

1.1 TCAS I SURVEILLANCE VOLUME

Top and bottom mounted antennas allow an active surveillance range of up to

12 nm (GTS 800) or 40 nm (GTS 820/850) in the forward direction, and somewhat

reduced ranges to the sides and aft of own aircraft due to the directional interrogation

patterns. Interference limiting in GTS 820/850 units may automatically reduce range

in high density trafﬁc areas.

GTS 8XX Interface

1.2 TRAFFIC SYMBOLOGY

Trafﬁc information from the GTS 8XX is displayed on the 4XX/5XX unit using TAS/

TCAS symbology (Table 1) on a dedicated Trafﬁc page, and on the moving Map Page.

The displayed trafﬁc information generally includes the relative range, bearing, and

altitude of intruder aircraft. The GTS 8XX also generates aural announcements heard

on the cockpit audio system. Proximity Advisories and Other Trafﬁc symbols normally

displayed in white may be displayed in cyan if conﬁgured for alternate trafﬁc color (see

the applicable 4XX/5XX installation manual).

Symbol Trafﬁc Type Description

Trafﬁc

Advisory (TA)

A TA (Trafﬁc Advisory) is generated when the GTS 8XX

predicts that an intruder aircraft may pose a collision

threat. A solid yellow circle represents an intruder aircraft

that meets the TA criteria as described in the TA Alerting

Conditions section. A TA consists of the trafﬁc symbol and

an aural alert (e.g., “trafﬁc, 12 o’clock, high, 3 miles”).

Out-of-

Range Trafﬁc

Advisory

This solid yellow half circle appears (on the outer range ring)

under the same conditions and has the same urgency as a

TA. Its appearance differs from the TA only to signify that

the intruder is outside of the current range of the Trafﬁc

Page.

Proximity

Advisory (PA)

Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as solid white (may

be conﬁgured as cyan) diamonds. PAs are deﬁned as

trafﬁc within the 6.0-nm range, within ±1200 ft. of altitude

separation, and are not a trafﬁc advisory (TA).

Other Trafﬁc

Symbol

The hollow white (may be conﬁgured as cyan) diamond

represents trafﬁc detected within the selected display range

that does not meet the criteria for a TA or a PA and does

not pose an immediate collision threat.

Table 1 TAS/TCAS Symbology

1.3 TA ALERTING CONDITIONS

The GTS 8XX automatically adjusts its TA sensitivity level (Table 2) to reduce

the likelihood of nuisance TA alerting during ﬂight phases likely to be near airports.

Level A (less sensitivity) TA sensitivity is used when the aircraft’s radar altimeter (if

400/500 Pilot’s Guide Addendum for GTS 8XX Interface

190-00140-78 Rev. A

GTS 8XX Interface

equipped) indicates own altitude is less than 2000 feet AGL. If no radar altimeter is

present, Sensitivity Level A is active when the landing gear is extended. Level A is also

active when groundspeed is less than 120 knots with no radar altimeter present in a

ﬁxed gear aircraft. In all other conditions, Level B (greater sensitivity) TA sensitivity is

used to assess TA threats.

Sensitivity

Level

Intruder

Altitude

Available TA Alerting Conditions

AYes

Intruder closing rate provides less than 20 seconds of

vertical and horizontal separation.

Or:

Intruder range is within 0.2 nm and vertical separation is

within 600 feet.

A No Intruder closing rate is less than 15 seconds.

BYes

Intruder closing rate provides less than 30 seconds of

vertical and horizontal separation.

Or:

Intruder range is within 0.55 nm and vertical separation is

within 800 feet.

B No Intruder closing rate is less than 20 seconds.

Table 2 TA Sensitivity Level and TA Alerting Criteria

Target altitude relative to own aircraft altitude (relative altitude) is displayed (in

hundreds of feet) for each target symbol (Figure 1). If trafﬁc is above own aircraft

altitude the relative altitude is shown above the target next to a ‘+’ symbol. If trafﬁc

is below own aircraft altitude the relative altitude is shown below the target next to a

‘-’ symbol.

Altitude trend (Figure 1) is displayed as an up arrow (≥+500 fpm), down arrow

(≤-500 fpm), or no symbol if less than 500 fpm rate in either direction.

1.4 AURAL ALERTS

A TA consists of a displayed trafﬁc symbol (solid yellow circle) and an aural alert.

The aural alert announces “trafﬁc”, followed by the intruder aircraft’s position, altitude

relative to own aircraft (“high”, “low”, or “same altitude”), and distance from own

aircraft; e.g. “trafﬁc, 12 o’clock, high, 3 miles”.

1.5 SELF-TEST

The GTS 8XX automatically performs a self-test upon power up. The self-test

checks internal parameters and calibrates components of the GTS 8XX. The self-test

can also be initiated by the user during normal operation.

Check for the following test criteria on the Trafﬁc Page during power-up:

• If the GTS 8XX passes the power-up test; and the aircraft both has a squat

switch and is on the ground, the Standby Screen is displayed (Figure 2).

• If the GTS 8XX passes the power-up test and the aircraft both has a squat

switch and is airborne, the Trafﬁc Page is displayed on the 6-nm display range

and in the normal altitude display mode.

• If the GTS 8XX passes the power-up test and the aircraft does not have a squat

switch, the Standby Screen is displayed (Figure 2).

• If the GTS 8XX fails the power-up test (as indicated by a FAILED screen),

the GTS 8XX is inoperable, see the GTS 8XX Installation Manual for detailed

information on Failure Response.

NOTE: The FAILED message is displayed when the system detects an error

that prohibits further trafﬁc display operation.

NOTE: When the system is in standby, the GTS 8XX does not transmit,

interrogate, or track intruder aircraft.
