Tis Limitations - Honeywell BENDIX/KING KMD 550 Pilot's Manual Addendum

TIS LIMITATIONS

Traffic may not be displayed for one or more of the following reasons:
1. Radar site is out of service. If a TIS capable Mode S sensor is not in
service for any reason, TIS is not available. See Figure 13
2. Your aircraft is beyond maximum range of a TIS capable Mode S
site. Maximum range can extend beyond 55 NM up to 100 NM.
However, expect TIS service to 55 NM. See Figure 13 and 14.
