TIS (traffic information service)
John Galban wrote: wrote: The reason that GTX330 sales are in the dumper is that the FAA announced (last year) that they would not implement TIS in future radar upgrades, as a cost saving measure. This indicates to a lot of buyers that the FAA is not interesting in supporting the technology long term. I can't say I'm surprised. I've flown some TIS equipped aircraft and I think it's one of the best traffic avoidance technologies I've seen since TCAS. It figures that the FAA would choose to implement "cost savings" by deleting something that actually works and works well. ADS-B makes TIS obsolete. No reason for the FAA to invest in two different technologies. ADS-B holds a better future. -Robert
