The purpose of the TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) is to determine the range, altitude, and bearing of other aircraft equipped with Mode S/Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) transponders, with respect to the location of own aircraft. It also monitors the trajectory of these aircraft for the purpose of determining if any of them constitute a potential collision hazard. The TCAS is responsible for estimating the projected intruder track and determining if a potential conflict exists. If so, the system displays an advisory to the pilot.

The TCAS 2000 is an onboard advisory system designed to act as a backup to the air traffic control (ATC) radar and the ìsee and avoidî 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. TCAS 2000 continually plots local air traffic on the associated display, and in the event of a conflicting flightpath, guides the pilot towards the correct avoidance maneuver.

The purpose of the TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) is to determine the range, altitude, and bearing of other aircraft equipped with Mode S/Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) transponders, with respect to the location of own aircraft. It also monitors the trajectory of these aircraft for the purpose of determining if any of them constitute a potential collision hazard. The TCAS is responsible for estimating the projected intruder track and determining if a potential conflict exists. If so, the system displays an advisory to the pilot. The system also provides guidance for the optimum vertical avoidance maneuver. Complementary avoidance maneuvers between two TCAS equipped aircraft are ensured by coordination of mutual intentions with the other aircraft through the Mode S transponders.

The TCAS 2000 is an onboard advisory system designed to act as a backup to the air traffic control (ATC) radar and the ìsee and avoidî 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.

If the intruding aircraft is also equipped with a TCAS II compatible system, the two systems can communicate their mutual intentions through the Mode S transponders.
