    TCAS is an aircraft collision avoidance system that uses mode C and mode S transponders to interrogate other aircraft and build a 3D-map of nearby airspace to help prevent mid-air collisions. It issues two types of alerts to pilots - corrective advisories that recommend a course of action like climbing or descending, and traffic advisories that inform pilots of potential threats. TCAS has gone through several versions to improve safety, and international standards now require it on aircraft over 5,700 kg maximum takeoff mass according to ICAO.

    Traffic Collision &

    Avoidance System
    By Pavan.R.Verma
    History
    Major Mid-air Accidents
    What is TCAS?
    • TCAS is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the
    incidence of mid-air collision between aircraft
    • According to International Civil Aviation Organization it is to be fitted
    to all aircraft with a maximum take-off mass of over 5,700 kg.
    Operations
    • It uses mode c and mode s.
    • Interrogates 1030 MHz receives reply via 1090 MHz.
    • The interrogation and response cycle may occur several times per
    second.
    • The TCAS builds a 3D-map of airspace near aircraft.
    2 types of alerts
