and avoid." Some of the more common examples of

these errors follow:

•

When client or intruder aircraft maneuvers exces-

sively or abruptly, the tracking algorithm may

report incorrect horizontal position until the

maneuvering aircraft stabilizes.

•

When a rapidly closing intruder is on a course that

crosses the client aircraft course at a shallow angle

(either overtaking or head on) and either aircraft

abruptly changes course within ¼ NM, TIS may

display the intruder on the opposite side of the

client than it actually is.

These are relatively rare occurrences and will

be corrected in a few radar scans once the course

has stabilized.

Improving TIS

Users of TIS can render valuable assistance in

the correction of malfunctions by reporting their

observations of undesirable performance. Reporters

should identify the time of observation, location, type

and identity of aircraft, and describe the condition

observed; the type of transponder processor and soft-

ware in use can also be useful information. Since TIS

performance is monitored by maintenance personnel

other than ATC, it is suggested that malfunctions be

reported in the following ways:

•

By telephone to the nearest Flight Service Station

(FSS) facility.

•

By FAA Form 8000-7, Safety Improvement Report,

a postage-paid card designed for this purpose.

These cards may be obtained at FAA FSSs, General

Aviation District Ofﬁces, Flight Standards District

Ofﬁces, and General Aviation Fixed Based Opera-

tions.
