algorithm may report incorrect horizontal position until the maneuvering aircraft

stabilizes.

•Whenarapidlyclosing intruderis on acourse thatintercepts the clientaircraft

course at a shallow angle (either overtaking or head-on) and either aircraft abruptly

changes course within 0.25 nm, TIS-A may display the intruder aircraft on the

incorrect side of the client aircraft.

These are rare occurrences and are typically resolved within a few radar sweeps once

the client/intruder aircraft course stabilizes.

Pilots using TIS-A can provide valuable assistance in the correction of malfunctions

by reporting observations of undesirable performance. Reports should identify the time

of observation, location, type and identity of the aircraft, and describe the condition

observed. Reports should also include the type of transponder and transponder

software version. Since TIS-A performance is monitored by maintenance personnel,

not ATC, malfunctions should be reported in the following ways:

•BytelephonetothenearestFlightServiceStation(FSS)facility

•ByFAAForm8000-7,SafetyImprovementReport(postage-paidcardcanbeobtained

General Aviation Fixed Base Operators)
