GTS™ 800 TAS

Life-saving Technology at a Money-saving Price
Feature-rich yet affordably priced, the GTS 800 system is designed to bring full TAS traffic surveillance capability well within reach of most GA pilots and their budgets. It offers power, range and performance comparable to systems costing far more. And like all our GTS devices, it will operate to 55,000 feet — so it’s not constrained by the much lower altitude limits imposed on some competitive traffic alerting systems.

Better Surveillance Equals Faster Response
Augmenting reports from radar-based air traffic control, the GTS 800 can combine both active and passive surveillance technologies (including 1090 MHz ADS-B “In”) when installed with a compatible “extended squitter” Mode-S transponder such as the GTX 330 ES unit (sold separately). Using this hybrid active/passive surveillance, the GTS 800 creates a 360° zone of detection around the aircraft — enabling you to see and identify other nearby transponder-equipped aircraft in time to take prompt corrective action.

As the ADS-B NextGen system becomes available, the GTS 800 will gain enhanced surveillance features, including the ability to display flight identification, position, altitude, velocity and heading information broadcast from other NextGen-enabled transponders. Thus, instead of just seeing random targets on a display, pilots using select displays will be able to identify and track specific intruder movements using familiar TCAS-defined symbology.

It Sees More So You Worry Less
GTS 800 can track up to 45 traffic targets simultaneously — and depict up to 30 intruder threats at a time, depending on the display being utilized. Offering 40 W of transmit power, a +/- 10,000-foot vertical separation maximum, and a typical active interrogation range of 22 nm in the forward direction, the GTS 800 system will interface with a variety of compatible system displays in the cockpit. So it doesn’t require added panel space for a dedicated control/display.
