    MAINTENANCE MANUAL CAS-100 COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM C. TA/VSI Display General The IVA-81A/D Resolution Advisory/Traffic Advisory/Vertical Speed Indicator (TA/VSI) display is a high resolution, sunlight readable, full color, liquid crystal display (LCD) (Figures 2011, 2012, and 2013). The indicator lets resolution advisory and traffic data be shown in the space previously for display of vertical speed only.
  • Page 88: Traffic Display

    The selected traffic display functions as a self-sufficient auxiliary device controlled by the TPA-100A TCAS processor through one high-speed ARINC 429 data bus. The traffic displays are secondary displays in the total CAS-100 system. (Resolution advisories on the TA/VSI and RA/VSI are the primary TCAS displays). The traffic display helps the pilot visually acquire a threat intruder aircraft before resolution advisory threat conditions.
