• Abstract:
  This document describes the test conduct and results of a five-part comprehensive evaluation of two prototype minimum Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II units. The five parts include: (1) hardware and software verification, (2) cockpit display and operational procedure verification, (3) pilot and inflight observer training, (4) TCAS II demonstration to the aviation community, and (5) readiness for airworthiness certification testing. ; Overall, the minimum TCAS II prototype has matured into an acceptable test-bed for the 8-month in-service evaluation in a commercial airliner. System reliability has improved and pilot acceptance was generally good. It is expected that minimum TCAS II will provide a valuable service to airline pilots.
