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: 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 1986 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis was performed to predict the effects of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS III) on the performance of the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) in the Los Angeles Basin. This was accomplished by comparing the effects of TCAS III and TCAS II operations on airborne transponder and ground-based ATCRBS interrogator performance in the same hypothetical peak Los Angeles Basin aircraft deployment.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight tests of a prototype Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) were conducted by the FAA Technical Center between August and October 1981. One purpose of the flight tests was to verify the effectiveness of the TCAS logic in generating safe separation. Eight-three planned encounters were flown during the test program. In addition, 14 low approaches, which resulted in the display of seven resolution advisories, were made into Washington National and Chicago O'Hare Airports. Three encounters of opportunity were also recorded. A total of 93 encounters were analyzed for this document. The primary characteristics used to measure TCAS performance included the timeliness and correctness of the traffic and resolution advisories, and, where appropriate, the vertical separation provided by the system. The advisories generated during the flight tests were timely and were in the correct direction, based on the data at the time of sense selection. The vertical separation achieved at closest approach for each encounter was analyzed by a fast-time replay capability. With nine exceptions, this vertical separation was greater than or equal to the system threshold. In three of the exceptions, separation was reduced due to significant pilot delay in responding to the advisory; however the TCAS logic performed properly. Two exceptions produced only slightly less than the system's separation threshold. Logic enhancements added subsequent to the flights were found to successfully resolve these encounters. In the remaining four exceptions, abrupt intruder level-off maneuvers foiled the TCAS sense selection logic, resulting in reduced separation.
