TCAS

The document discusses the TCAS (Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System). It describes the TCAS functions of detecting aircraft with transponders, displaying potential collision targets, and issuing vertical orders to avoid conflicts. It outlines the objectives of understanding the different warning levels issued by TCAS and reacting appropriately to them according to procedures. It details the different warning levels of TAs (Traffic Advisories) and RAs (Resolution Advisories) and the required pilot responses to each.
