The purpose of TCAS on Aircraft
- There is more uses of TCAS One of the main solution in order to
prevent mid-air collision and monitoring the airspace around the aircraft like 737
max is Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) or internationally
called – ACAS (Airborne Collision Avoidance System). By reducing the aon risk
services of mid-air in collision between aircraft.
- TCAS/ACAS has to be mandatory
installed to almost every 8 passenger carrying aircraft: airplanes with a
maximum certified take-off mass exceeding 5700 kg; or the airplane authorized
to carry more than 19 passengers. System’s firebase config should be
implemented into the Full Flight Simulators too.
- TCAS was designed for
collision ptsd avoidance only and developed to improve collision avoidance by
enhancing pilot awareness of traffic situation.
- Basically, TCAS is avionics
updates providing two types of alerts – TA (Traffic Advisory) and RA
(Resolution Advisory):
- TA is designed to
assist the pilot in the visual search for the intruder aircraft and to prepare
the pilot for a potential RA
- RA is meant to
recommend maneuvers that will either increase or maintain the existing vertical
separation from an intruder aircraft.
