6.9 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 tra\
ffic.
 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 are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS.  
Aircraft without altitude reporting capability are shown without altitud\
e separation data or climb descent 
indication.
 NOTE:  TIS is disabled if a Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed.
Traffic	 Information	 Service	(TIS)	is	designed	 to	help	 in	detection	 and	avoidance	 of	other	 aircraft.		 TIS	uses	 the	
Mode	S	 transponder	 for	the	 traffic	 data	link.		 TIS	receives	 traffic	information	 from	ground	 stations,	 and	is	updated	
every	 5	seconds.	 	 The	G1000	 displays	 up	to	eight	 traffic	 targets	 within	a	7.5-nm	 radius,	from	3000	 feet	below	
to	3500	 feet	above	 the	requesting	 aircraft.		Traffic	is	displayed	 according	 to	Traffic	 Alert	and	Collision	 Avoidance	
System	(TCAS)	symbology.
TIS SymbolDescription
Non-Threat Traffic
Traffic Advisory  (TA)
Traffic Advisory Off Scale
Table 6-26  TIS Traffic Symbols
A	Traffic	 Advisory	 (TA)	indicates	 that	the	current	 track	of	the	 intruder	 could	result	in	a	collision.		 When	traffic	
meets	the	advisory	 criteria	for	the	 TA,	 a	solid	 yellow	 circle	symbol	 is	generated.		 A	TA	 which	 is	detected,	 but	is	
outside	 the	range	 of	the	 map,	 is	indicated	 with	a	message	 in	the	 lower	 left	corner	 of	the	 map	 and	a	half	 TA	symbol		
at	the	relative	bearing	of	the	intruder.
TIS	 also	 provides	 a	vector	 line	showing	 the	direction	 in	which	 the	traffic	 is	moving,	 to	the	 nearest	 45°.		Traffic	
information	 for	which	 TIS	is	unable	 to	determine	 the	bearing	 (non-bearing	 traffic)	is	displayed	 in	the	 center	 of	the	
Traffic	 Map	Page	 (Figure	 6-164)	or	in	a	banner	 at	the	 lower	 left	corner	 of	maps	 other	than	the	Traffic	 Map	Page	
on	which	traffic	can	be	displayed.
The	altitude	 difference	 between	the	requesting	 aircraft	and	other	 intruder	 aircraft	is	displayed	 above/below	 the	
traffic	symbol	 in	hundreds	 of	feet.	 	 If	the	 other	 aircraft	 is	above	 the	requesting	 aircraft,	the	altitude	 separation	
appears	 above	the	traffic	 symbol;	 if	below,	 the	altitude	 separation	 appears	below.		Altitude	 trend	is	displayed	 as	
an	up/down	 arrow	(for	speeds	 greater	 than	500	fpm	 in	either	 direction)	 to	the	 right	 of	the	 target	 symbol.		 Traffic	
symbols	for	aircraft	 without	 altitude	reporting	 capability	 appear	without	 altitude	separation	 or	climb/descent	
information.

DISPLAYING TRAFFIC DATA
The	Map	 -	Traffic	 Map	Page	 is	the	 principal	 page	for	viewing	 traffic	information.		 Additional	displays	of	traffic	
information	 are	available	 as	map	 overlays	 while	TIS	is	operating,	 and	serve	 as	additional	 reference	to	the	 Traffic	
Map	Page.		Traffic	information	can	be	displayed	on	the	following	maps	and	pages:
•	 PFD
Traffic	 information	 can	also	 be	displayed	 on	the	 PFD	 when	 the	Synthetic	 Vision	System	 (SVS)	option	 is	
installed	and	enabled.		See	the	Additional	Features	Section	for	details.
Displaying traffic information (maps other than the Traffic Map Page):
1) Select the MAP Softkey.
2) Select the TRAFFIC Softkey to display traffic data.
When	traffic	is	selected	 on	maps	 other	than	the	Traffic	 Map	Page,	 an	icon	 is	shown	 to	indicate	 the	feature	 is	
enabled	for	display.

The	Navigation	 Map	Page	 Setup	 Menu	 provides	 a	means	 in	addition	 to	the	 softkey	 for	enabling/disabling	
display	 of	traffic.	 	 The	setup	 menu	 also	controls	 the	map	 range	 settings	 above	which	 traffic	data	(symbols	
and	labels)	 are	decluttered	 from	the	display.		 If	a	map	 range	 larger	 than	the	map	 range	 setting	 is	selected,	 the	
data	is	removed	 from	the	map.		 Maps	besides	 the	Traffic	 Map	Page	 use	settings	 based	on	those	 selected	 for	the	
Navigation	Map	Page.
TRAFFIC MAP PAGE
The	 Traffic	 Map	Page	 is	specialized	 to	show	 surrounding	 TIS	traffic	 data	in	relation	 to	the	 aircraft’s	 current	
position	and	altitude,	 without	clutter	from	the	basemap.		 Aircraft	orientation	 on	this	 map	 is	always	 heading	 up	
unless	there	is	no	 valid	 heading.		 Map	range	 is	adjustable	 with	the	RANGE Knob	from	 2	to	 12	 nm,	 as	indicated	
by	the	map	range	rings.
The	 traffic	 mode	is	annunciated	 in	the	 upper	 left	corner	 of	the	 Traffic	 Map	Page.		 When	 the	aircraft	 is	on	 the	
ground,	 TIS	automatically	 enters	Standby	 Mode.	Once	the	aircraft	 is	airborne,	 TIS	switches	 from	Standby	 to	
Operating	 Mode	and	the	G1000	 begins	to	display	 traffic	information.		 Refer	to	the	 System	 Status	discussion	 for	
more information.
Displaying traffic on the Traffic Map Page:
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the Map Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the Traffic Map Page.
3) Confirm TIS is in Operating Mode:
 Select the OPERATE Softkey to begin displaying traffic.
 Or:
a) Press the MENU Key.
b) Select ‘Operate Mode’ (shown if TIS is in Standby Mode) and press the ENT Key.

TIS ALERTS
When	the	number	of	TAs	on	the	Traffic	Map	Page	increases	from	one	scan	to	the	next,	the	following	occur:
•	 A	single	“Traffic” voice alert is generated.
•	 A	‘TRAFFIC’	 Annunciation	 appears	to	the	 top	 left	of	the	 Attitude	 Indicator	 on	the	 PFD,	 flashing	 for	5	seconds	
and	remaining	displayed	until	no	TAs	are	detected	in	the	area.
•	 The	PFD	Inset	Map	is	automatically	displayed	with	traffic.
To	 reduce	 the	number	 of	nuisance	 alerts	due	to	proximate	 aircraft,	the	“Traffic” voice alert is generated only 
when	the	number	 of	TAs	 increases.		 For	example,	 when	the	first	 TA	is	displayed,	 a	voice	 and	visual	 annunciation	
are	generated.		 As	long	 as	a	single	 TA	remains	 on	the	 display,	 no	additional	 voice	alerts	 are	generated.		 If	a	second	
TA	 appears	 on	the	 display	 or	if	the	 number	 of	TAs	 initially	 decreases	 and	then	 subsequently	 increases,	another	
voice alert is generated.

A	“TIS Not Available” (TNA)	 voice	alert	is	generated	 when	the	TIS	 service	 becomes	 unavailable	 or	is	out	 of	
range.		TIS	may	be	unavailable	in	the	radar	coverage	area	due	to	the	following:
•	 Radar	site	TIS	Mode	S	sensor	is	not	operational	or	is	out	of	service
•	 Traffic	or	requesting	aircraft	is	beyond	the	maximum	range	of	the	TIS-capable	Mode	S	radar	site.
•	 Traffic	 or	requesting	 aircraft	is	above	 the	radar	 site	in	the	 cone	 of	silence	and	out	of	 range	of	an	adjacent	site.
•	 Traffic	 or	requesting	 aircraft	is	below	 radar	coverage.		 In	flat	 terrain,	 the	coverage	 extends	from	about	 3000	
feet	upward	 at	55	 miles.		 Terrain	 and	obstacles	 around	the	radar	 site	can	 further	 decrease	 radar	coverage	 in	all	
directions.
•	 Traffic	does	not	have	an	operating	transponder.
The “TIS Not Available”	(TNA)	 voice	alert	can	be	manually	 muted	to	reduce	 nuisance	 alerting.		TNA	muting	
status	is	shown	in	the	upper	left	corner	of	the	Traffic	Map	Page.

The	G1000	 performs	 an	automatic	 test	of	TIS	 during	 power-up.	 	 If	TIS	 passes	 the	test,	 TIS	enters	 Standby	
Mode	(on	the	ground)	 or	Operating	 Mode	(in	the	 air).		 If	TIS	 fails	 the	power	 up	test,	 an	annunciation	 is	shown
