Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) proposed Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), focusing on its: (1) safety benefits; (2) commercial prospects; and (3) development plans. GAO found that FAA: (1) designed TCAS to reduce the risk of mid-air collisions by providing pilots with an independent airborne backup to the FAA ground-based air traffic control system; (2) has three models which vary in cost, technical sophistication, and capacity, with TCAS III having the most risk-reduction capability; and (3) designed TCAS II to permit an easy, low-cost upgrade to TCAS III capability. GAO also found that FAA: (1) proposed legislation requiring installation of TCAS I in all jets with 10 to 19 passenger seats and installation of TCAS II and III in larger commercial aircraft; (2) did not conduct a safety study for TCAS I; (3) is currently performing safety studies of TCAS III after determining that TCAS II reduces the risk of near mid-air collisions by 58 percent; (4) believes that the avionics equipment manufacturing industry is capable of manufacturing TCAS equipment, but may not be able to meet the legislatively mandated deadline; and (5) is currently testing the operational capacity of TCAS II and III.

Book excerpt: The Task-1 contract on TCAS-II produced a system concept and a Design Specification that show the 743 Aircraft L.A. Basin Model with peak densities well in excess of 0.4 aircraft per square nautical mile can be met. This Task-2 contract is for the design, construction, and testing of two Enhanced TCAS-II (now called TCAS III) Engineering Units. This report contains a description of the TCAS III engineering model and results from various flight tests of the system. System 1 has been installed on the FAA's 727 since 1983. Testing shows that angular accuracies in the order of 1 to 2 degrees are feasible and that Horizontal Resolution Advisories can be given on intruders. System 2 has been delivered to the FAA Technical Center and installed on a Convair 580. Both systems will continue to fly as test beds for TCAS III.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to characterize the performance of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) logic which was developed by the Mitre Corporation. The evaluation was based on baseline logic documentation and logic changes made between January to October 1981. The report is the first part of a three-volume series and reflects the evaluation of logic performance using the Fast-Time Encounter Generator as the logic test bed for unequipped threats. The study was conducted in two phases. The initial phase addressed the identification and correction of logic flaws. After the improvements in the logic were coordinated with are provided by Mitre, the second phase assessed the TCAS logic performance for a wide variety of two-aircraft encounters. The report identifies the logic deficiencies and the results of the analysis. In general, TCAS logic performance was excellent. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes one of a series of studies being conducted to develop the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). The purpose of this study was to conduct a pilot evaluation of the relationship between TCAS displays, an operational crew station, aircraft performance, TCAS logic and operational TCAS procedures. The specific objectives of the evaluation were to be: Develop and evaluate the operational procedures associated with TCAS alerts under both normal and abnormal flight operations; Assess changes in flight deck operations associated with TCAS; Assess operational procedures as related to ATC control; Assess the impact of TCAS display requirements on flight deck systems and geometry. During the evaluation experienced transport pilots were presented TCAS alerts while flying a high fidelity B737-200 training simulator. Their response to the alerts was observed and recorded as were their opinions concerning the system. As a result of reviewing pilot responses to 552 TCAS encounters with a total of 970 intruder aircraft, it is recommended that TCAS be revised to achieve more consistantly correct pilot response.
