Is this a good TCAS antenna location? | Pilots of America The avionics shop proposes that the rear GPS antenna is replaced with the TCAS antenna, and the front VHF (COM) antenna is replaced with a dual (Comant WAAS 2 3, $1000) antenna What concerns me is that the TCAS antenna will be slightly "behind" the roof curvature, for targets which are at your 12 o'clock
TCAS RAs - Pilots of America Pilots with TCAS often don't seem to understand that it's perfectly legal for "intruder" aircraft to be close enough to trigger an RA under many circumstances Since those circumstances involve VMC conditions, it's also generally preventable by keeping TCAS in your instrument scan and keeping a good visual scan out the windshield
Before you buy your Ads-B 1090ES to fly into Canada "Aircraft that are not affected by ACAS TCAS II regulations and do not currently have antenna diversity will be required to meet the recommended performance requirements set forth in this proposal to operate in ADS-B airspace" 4 1 1 Performance Requirements The following performance requirements align with ICAO’s recommendation of the
dme antenna location - Pilots of America Has the antenna system including likely ancient coax been tested to see if it’s gone faulty? There’s test gear for that Same for the performance of the DME All DME really is, is essentially a transmitter that hits a transponder on the ground and times it’s own return transmission round trip time
Would a CI-2580-200 antenna work with a KLN94? - Pilots of America I am having the Avidyne TCAS 605 installed and they have to relocate a few things So we are looking at one combined GPS+VHF antenna The shops says that only the non-WAAS antenna (I don't have a P N for the one they are thinking of but it probably is the CI-2480-200 which is WAAS Gamma 1)
New Traffic display for ADSB-In devices | Pilots of America I Need some of you guys to try out a new Traffic display (Android only) for ADSB-In devices (Wifi only) I developed an Android App (called TrafficAssist) that closely follows the TCAS II protocol and displays the data as you would see it in a commercial aircraft TrafficAssist will display
TCAS-RA - Pilots of America TCAS does not know the intentions or clearances of each airplane, only what they are doing now One instance that can produce nuisance RAs is when one aircraft is climbing, or descending, to 1,000' above below another TCAS doesn't know that the aircraft is going to level off--And maybe they won't--so it issues a TA then RA
Zaon XRX Serial Port data - Pilots of America The ARINC 735A document defines the format and labels for ARINC 429 interface used in TCAS You may want to look into this For development and debugging your software you will need to simulate multiple traffic RF signals at different altitudes, range and bearing for the XRX to receive This simulation is not trivial and not cheap José
Transponder question - Pilots of America I'm in the process of putting a Searey back together My hangar partner bought it a few months ago in pieces in a trailer Hopefully the pic came across The transponder was mounted up behind the pilot Who knows why I've moved it to the panel The antenna is mounted above the cockpit on the
Traffic alert system TCAS - Pilots of America I'm fairly certain that was for the TAS600, not a TCAS You'll find that any traffic advisory system (TAS not TCAS) that creates its own radar environment (7 nm radius, ±3500' and up to 8 targets) is well worth the cost Not having to depend on a controller noticing another target and then giving you notice
