SECTION 4:  RYAN TCAD INTERFACE

All information in this section pertaining to the dis-

play and control of the Ryan 9900B TCAD also applies 
to the Ryan 9900BX TCAD except for the following: 

•   TCAS-like  symbols  are  used  in  the  9900BX. 

TCAD symbols are used with the 9900B (see the 
table on page 17). 

•   Altitude  modes are available (normal, look up, 

look down, unrestricted). 

•   Ranges are manually controlled instead of being 

automatically re-sized to the current shield. 

•   Traffic display range selections are different: 

  -  Ryan 9900B—range is slaved to current shield  

   size. 

  -  Ryan 9900BX—1 NM, 1 and 2 NM, 2 and  

    6 NM, 6 and 12 NM, and 12 and 24 NM. 

See the Ryan TCAD Pilot’s Handbook for a 

description of the traffic symbols.

Ryan TCAD Description

 

NOTE

: Refer to the Ryan TCAD Pilot’s Guide for a 

detailed description of the Ryan TCAD System.

The Ryan TCAD (Traffic and Collision Alert 

Device) is an on-board air traffic display used to 
identify potential collision threats. TCAD computes 
relative altitude and range of threats from nearby 
Mode C and Mode S-equipped aircraft. TCAD will not 
detect aircraft without operating transponders or those 
that are beyond radar coverage. TCAD, within defined 
limits, creates a “shield” of airspace around the aircraft 
that detected traffic cannot penetrate without trigger-
ing an alert. 

Operator Controls and Basic Displays

If there is no communication between the 

400W/500W Series unit display and the TCAD unit, a 
message will appear, notifying the user. After initial-
ization, proceed with operation of the 400W/500W 
Series unit in a normal manner. TCAD data can be 
shown in a “thumbnail” view on the Map Page. 

The Map Page can display TCAD traffic in any 

of the top three fields (or top four fields on a 

500W Series unit) located on the right-hand 

side of the display. 

TCAD data also displays on the Traffic Page and 

Map Pages, if heading data is available. The symbols 
for closing and opening traffic shown on both the Map 
Page and the Traffic Page are identical to those shown 
on the Ryan TCAD:
