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.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An operational evaluation of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) Industry Prototype was conducted to assess the utility of TCAS II to flight crews, to assess the impacts of TCAS on flight crew workload, to assess the impacts of TCAS on the air traffic control (ATC) system, and to obtain flight crew comments on TCAS design parameters and cockpit displays. The evaluation was conducted on one Boeing 727 aircraft operating in airline revenue service with Piedmont Airlines. Quantitative data on TCAS performance were collected to characterize the location and frequency of TCAS advisories. Qualitative data were collected from flight crews and cockpit observers to assess the impacts of TCAS on ATC and the flight crews. Minor operational anomalies the utility of TCAS and to assess were identified and changes to operational procedures or TCAS logic were recommended. Keywords: Human factors engineering, Avionics, Flight training.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to investigate three areas of interaction between pilots and the TCAS II Collision Avoidance System in order to examine the following areas of concern: (1) Did pilots maneuver on traffic advisory (TA) information? (2) Did the pilots' use of the system increase the miss distance between conflicting aircraft? (3) Would an alternate design for the resolution advisory (RA) display be more effective than the current display? The first two questions were answered with data obtained from a NASA-Ames simulation using airline crews and a Boeing 727 flight simulator. Evaluation of these data reveal 14 incidents were pilots successfully maneuvered their aircraft using TA information. Forty scenarios where the TCAS II system directed evasive maneuvers were examined. These results show that the recommended avoidance maneuvers increased aircraft miss distance in 37 cases. Alternate designs for the resolution advisory display were evaluated using military and civilian pilots reacting to a computer display simulation. These results demonstrate that a 'red and green' RA display is more effective than the current 'red only' RA display. Keywords: Air traffic control systems, Theses. (sdw).

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.
