Model SKY899A Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System I Pilot’s Guide for the Pilot’s Guide for the Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System I Model SKY899A UNR 35nm - 0 7 - 3 5 +80 +03 SKY899A Pilot’s Guide A Eyes That Never Blink™ Early TCAS In the early days of flight, pilots were equipped with all they needed for effective collision avoidance–a sharp pair of eyes. But increasing traffic at higher speeds led to the development of TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems) which were too expensive for most regional airlines, business aircraft, and general aviation aircraft. Proven Experience L-3 Avionics Systems has been involved in the development of collision warning programs since the early 1980’s. In 1985, L-3 Avionics Systems began development of an enhanced collision warning system for the Navy’s T-34C training aircraft. Based largely on the success of the Navy project, L-3 Avionics Systems was selected to validate the specifications for TCAS I, a more affordable alternative to TCAS II. As a result, L-3 Avionics Systems’ original TCAS I unit, the TCAS791, was the first TCAS I to be granted a Technical Standard Order (TSO), first to receive a full, unrestricted Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), first to fly, and first to be delivered. SKYWATCH® In the late 90’s, L-3 Avionics Systems developed an even more affordable system called the SKYWATCH model SKY497 Traffic Advisory System (TAS) with less power, and a shorter range. Now there’s the SKYWATCH HP model SKY899A TCAS I system that combines the power, range, and TCAS I certification of the earlier TCAS791 with the affordability of the original SKYWATCH SKY497. In addition to its TCAS I certification, the SKYWATCH HP SKY899A improves upon the SKY497 by adding a larger surveil- lance range (35 nmi), a higher maximum closure rate (1200 kn), and built-in hardware and software that makes the SKYWATCH HP Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)-ready for the future when the technology becomes standardized.

The SKY899A relies on information obtained from transponders in nearby aircraft. The SKY899A does not detect or track aircraft which are not equipped with an operating Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) transponder. The SKY899A does not track intruder aircraft approaching at a closure rate greater than 1200 knots. Some traffic within the chosen display range may not be displayed due to traffic prioritizing, antenna shielding, ground intruder filtering, interference limiting, or surveillance range being shorter than the chosen display range. Optimum SKY899A performance is realized when intruder aircraft are reporting their altitude (via a mode C or other altitude reporting transponder). Do not attempt evasive maneuvers based solely on traffic informa- tion on the display. Information on the display is provided to the flight crew as an aid in visually acquiring traffic; it is not a replacement for Air Traffic Control (ATC) and See & Avoid techniques. page 3-5 page 3-5 page 3-5 page 3-6 CAUTION page 3-1 page 3-5 WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION SKY899A Pilot’s Guide iii Important Notice This guide provides general information about the operation of the SKY899A. This guide does not cover all possible intercon- nections with all possible types and numbers of displays and customer-supplied switches. Refer to your aircraft flight manual and flight manual supplement for information specific to your aircraft. If there is conflicting information between those manuals and this pilot’s guide, your aircraft flight manual and flight manual supplement take precedence over this pilot’s guide. Revision Highlights This revision B of the pilot’s guide makes the following changes: • Changes occurrence of “Goodrich Avionics Systems” to “L-3 Communications Avionics Systems, Inc.” or just “L-3 Avionics Systems” and makes related company contact information changes. (On March 28, 2003, Goodrich Corporation sold its Avionics Systems division to L-3 Communications Corporation.) • Adds references to the RGC350 • Eliminates the Warranty Information chapter. Warranty information is now provided on a separate warranty card.
