TCAS/Evidence
Method evidence record

TCAS

TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) is an airborne safety system that detects nearby aircraft using radar and mode C altitude reports, then provides traffic advisories (TAs) and recommended collision avoidance maneuvers (RAs) to flight crews. Mandated globally on commercial aircraft since 2000, TCAS is considered a last line of defense against mid-air collisions. TCAS II is the most common variant; TCAS I is a simplified advisory-only version for general aviation.
