Jr.Assistant: Pipala, Edward Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG08G 005/04AbstractA traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) for use in a first aircraft is disclosed. The TCAS includes TCAS circuitry providing output data as a function of a location of an intruder aircraft relative to a location of the first aircraft. A display device coupled to the TCAS circuitry receives the output data. The display device is adapted to provide a graphical representation of the altitude of the intruder aircraft.Field of SearchVEHICLE CONTROL, GUIDANCE, OPERATION, OR INDICATIONAeronautical vehicle Altitude or attitude control or indication Flight condition indicating system Traffic analysis or control of aircraft RELATIVE LOCATION Collision avoidance Course to intercept Relative distence between vehicles (e.g., collision alert) AIRCRAFT ALARM OR INDICATING SYSTEMS Potential collision with other aircraft AIRCRAFT COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (CAS) Having collision avoidance | |
