B. Issue Summary
(1) The Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Fly-To Cue indication on the primary
cockpit displays may conflict with other TCAS system information (e.g. aural cues)
during a Resolution Advisory (RA) scenario. Specifically, the TCAS Fly-To Cue
vertical position on the Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI) pitch tape is displayed
relative to the aircraft horizon line instead of the aircraft symbol. The potential conflict
between displayed indications and TCAS aural cues could adversely affect the pilot
decision-making process and may lead the pilot to over/under-correct which may
result in unintended reduction in aircraft separation.

(2) The TCAS Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) outputs are correct, and compliant with
requirements, and the aural call-outs for the pilot are correct. The issue has been
isolated to the FDSA-6500 software where the command data from the TCAS
equipment is being translated incorrectly prior to display of TCAS Resolution Advisory
pitch indications on the AFD-3700.

C. Replacement Effectivity
(1) The following table shows the replacement FDSA-6500 software CPNs for each
version that is obsolete due to the TCAS non-compliance.
