TIS should not be used for avoidancemaneuvers during Instrument MeteorologicalConditions (IMC) or other times when there isno visual contact with the intruder aircraft. TISis intended only to assist in visual acquisitionof other aircraft in Visual MeteorologicalConditions (VMC). Avoidance maneuvers arenot recommended, nor authorized, as a directresult of a TIS intruder display or TIS alert.NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for Mode Sgeographical coverage.

TIS is a ground-basedservice providing relative location of aircraft tracked byATC radar within a specified service volume. The TISground sensor uses real-time track reports to generatetraffic notification. TIS Traffic display is available toaircraft equipped with a Mode S Data Link, such as theGarmin GTX 330 Transponder. TIS traffic informationfrom a GTX 330 Transponder can then be displayed on aGNS 430 unit. Surveillance data includes aircraft trackedby ATC radar within the coverage volume. Aircraft withoutan operating transponder are invisible to TIS.
