Traffic Information Service (TIS) Planned Product Improvement (P21) Operational Test

Abstract

The Traffic Information Service (TIS) Planned Product Improvement final report provides the detailed analysis, results, conclusions, and final recommendations drawn from the Operational Test (OT) test results for the TIS P2I test effort, which was conducted at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center by the Surveillance Branch, ACT-310, from August 14, 2000, through December 22, 2000. The TIS is a Mode Select (Mode S) Data Link service that delivers automatic traffic advisories to pilots. The primary goal of TIS is to provide an affordable means to assist the pilot in visual acquisition of surrounding air traffic. The service is automated and functions without increasing the workload of air traffic controllers.
