TCAS would not activate

[luiz_monza]

Hi guys,

Sorry if this subject have already been covered here, but I just can't seem to succeed in turning TCAS ON, even after tkofs, having checked Xponder is in ALT mode...

I use to hit TCAS button on central panel, but dont't have any answer.

Any help on this?

Tks,

Luiz Antonio

Hi Luiz,

to see traffic on your navigation display (ND) you need to be in a mode that displays navigational data (i.e. NOT FULL VOR/ILS or PLAN modes) - and you need to set up your transponder to be active, and also TCAS to at least TA.

In addition you need to click on the TFC button that is on top of your map range display, check out these two pics:

Hi Captain Litjan,

Many thanks for your response.

In fact I haven't noticed that the Xponder mode switch, which is on the top left of it, was in off position....Silly mistake.

In fact, I have never touched that switch, only activating Xponder by means of the switch STBY/AUTO/ON switch.

Once shifted to TA/RA position, TFC mode immediately showed up again on ND.

Thanks for your help and time!

Cheers.
