Features and Functions of T3CAS

Airliners and business jets should be assured of safety and efficiency when they are on the air and when they are about to land. A lot depends on those two things - the most important of which is life. And, thankfully, with the different avionics platform available today, airliners and business jets can do a better job of giving themselves that needed peace of mind. One of the best avionics platforms that can lead to that, right now, is T3CAS.

Also known as the NextGen integrated communication and surveillance product, T3CAS is a one-box suite that includes all the other established platforms from ACSS, such as TCAS (Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System), TWAS (Terrain Awareness Warning System) and a Mode-S transponder. It also comes with improved functionalities that make aircraft experience better, safer and more efficient.

So, what can T3CAS do?

1. ...
... Reduce costs and other resources: As T3CAS already integrates TWAS, TCAS and a Mode S transponder together, the money that we have to spend in acquiring and owning all those differing platforms gets considerably reduced. The weight and volume that the aircraft has to carry would also decrease, as well as the number of wires that the platforms require. Where syncing with other applications is concerned, management would be easy, too. T3CAS comes with ADS-B or Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast - a system for air traffic control - and installing it prepares the whole system for other software-based applications that can improve safety and efficiency in the aircraft.

2. Improve the functionality of the aircraft: Business jets and airliners that want to pack as much power into their vessels with just one platform would not have an issue with achieving that with T3CAS. This wonders-in-a-box can take care of all the essential factors that play a huge role in the safety and efficiency of the flight. With automatic add-ons such as ITP (or In-Trail Procedures and SafeRoute - a standard with SAMM or Surface Area Movement Management), airliner and business jets can rely on carrying a full range of powerful functionality without the extra weight.

3. Equip aircrafts with a better way to fly: The features that come with T3CAS have been designed to aid airliners and business jets in landing safely and moving through the air more efficiently. It revolutionises tracking airborne and ground traffic and avoiding collisions, among other things. Thus, it can do a lot to make people - aircraft personnel and passengers alike - feel secured about the whole experience, giving them more reasons to go back to it in the future.

This avionics suite is recommended to airliners and jet owners who wish to pack a full-scale of benefits into their aircrafts, for a fraction of the cost. And, many of them have realised this - which is why, right now, plenty of companies are choosing to adopt the system. In China, recently, operation of the platform has started. More and more airline and jet companies are thinking about using the product, too, in their range of aircraft carriers.
