2.5 Pressure Altitude Broadcast Inhibit (PABI)
While operating within airspace requiring an ADS-B Out compliant transmitter
per 14 CFR 91.225, Pressure Altitude Broadcast Inhibit shall only be enabled
when requested by Air Traffic Control. PABI is enabled by selecting the GTX to
ON mode.
2.6 Traffic Display and Alerting
Traffic display and alerting is an aid to visual acquisition and may not be used as
the sole basis for rotorcraft maneuvering.
When operating without a heading source, during significant crab angles such as
in rearward or sideward flight above 15 knots, the traffic display shall not be
used. See Section 7.4 for more details on rotorcraft with no heading source.
2.7 Datalinked Weather Display (GTX 345 Only)
Do not use datalink weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around
areas of hazardous weather. Information provided by datalink weather products
may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
Do not use the indicated datalink weather product age to determine the age of
the weather information shown by the datalink weather product. Due to time
delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for datalink
transmission, the weather information shown by the datalink weather product
may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.

The procedures described below are specific only to the panel mounted GTX
3X5 transponders. Cockpit Reference Guides and Pilot Guides for interfaced
remote control displays will provide additional operating information specific to
the displays or other traffic systems.
ADS-B Out functionality resides within the GTX transponders thereby
providing a single point of entry for Mode 3/A code, Flight ID, IDENT
functionality and activating or deactivating emergency status for both
transponder and ADS-B Out functions. Details on performing these procedures
are located in the GTX 3X5 Series Transponder Pilot’s Guide.

7.1 Transmitted Air Ground Status
The ADS-B OUT message includes the air/ground status of the rotorcraft.
Rotorcraft which do not have a Radar Altimeter OR GNS/ GTN display
interfaced to the GTX will transmit “in air” any time the collective is raised.
Rotorcraft which have a Radar Altimeter OR GNS/ GTN display interfaced to
the GTX will transmit “in air” any time the height above the surface is more
than 25 feet or groundspeed is in excess of 15 knots.
7.2 GTX TIS-A Behavior (GTX 335 Only)
The TIS-A Standby/Operate controls for GTX 335 units only function when the
aircraft’s air/ground state is “in air”.

7.3 Traffic Sources and Alerting
The GTX 345 is capable of receiving ADS-B, ADS-R, TIS-B, and
TAS/TCAS/TCAD traffic reports. Traffic data from these various sources is
used to track traffic around the rotorcraft and provide display and alerts to the
flight crew to aid in visual acquisition and avoidance. The GTX 335 is capable
of receiving TIS-A traffic only.
Traffic alerting is provided via a visual annunciator and audio callouts.
Rotorcraft which have a Radar Altimeter OR GNS/ GTN display interfaced to
the GTX will truncate traffic aural alerts to not include bearing, distance, and
relative altitude information when less than 200 ft above the surface.
Additionally, the GTX will reduce the protected volume around these rotorcraft
when operating below 200 ft above the surface and less than 60 kts groundspeed
to minimize nuisance alerts in the airport area while still providing traffic alerts
on other eligible ADS-B OUT equipped aircraft.
NOTE
Due to some aircraft not being required to equip for ADS-B
Out, as well as the nature of TIS and its service volumes, not
all traffic will be tracked by the GTX. This is much like an
active traffic system which does not track non-transponder
equipped aircraft. The flight crew must use “see and avoid”
procedures to visually acquire and avoid other aircraft. Do not
rely on your GTX as the sole means of detecting other aircraft.
7.4 Rotorcraft with No Heading Source
Rotorcraft which have an invalid heading source, or do not have a heading
source interfaced to the GTX are subject to the following traffic display
limitations:
The traffic page on an interfaced display will be oriented to rotorcraft
TRACK, which may or may not align with rotorcraft heading.
Due to the behavior described above, correlation of TCAS and ADS
traffic will be degraded or impossible. Above 15 knots groundspeed,
TCAS targets which cannot be correlated will be misaligned with ADS
targets by a value equal to the crab angle. When operating with
significant crab angles such as in rearward or sideward flight above 15
knots, the traffic display shall not be used (see Limitations, Section
2.6).

GTX 3X5 PART 27 AML
190-00734-22 Rev. 2 Page 18 of 20
ADS-B traffic will not be available for display when groundspeed is
less than 15 knots and there is no valid heading. If TCAS is still in
operation, ADS will be shown as “N/A” (on some displays). If neither
system is available, the display will show “NO DISPLAY”.
7.5 On Scene Mode (OSM) (GTX 345 Only)
Rotorcraft which have a GTN display interfaced to the GTX have the ability to
use On Scene Mode (OSM). OSM reduces the protected volume around the
rotorcraft for alerts that would be produced by other ADS-B equipped rotorcraft.
OSM must turned ON and OFF by the pilot using the controls in the MENU of
the GTN’s traffic page and is intended to be used when intentionally operating
in close proximity to other helicopters for activities such as electronic news
gathering. OSM does not affect the protected volume for other airplanes or non-
ADS-B equipped rotorcraft.
7.6 Interfaced Active Traffic System (Optional, GTX 345 Only)
When an active traffic system is interfaced with a GTX 345, the GTX 345
receives traffic from the active traffic system and attempts to correlate or
match this traffic with ADS-B traffic the GTX 345 has received and is already
tracking. When a correlation is made, the active traffic system or ADS-B target
with the most accurate information is displayed to the flight crew. Any active
traffic system or ADS-B traffic that is not correlated will also be displayed for
the flight crew. The correlation of traffic by the GTX 345 ensures that only the
most accurate, and no duplicate, traffic targets are displayed for the flight crew’s
situational awareness.
In addition, the GTX 345 will use its air/ground status logic (see Section 7.1) to
automatically switch the active traffic system from Standby to Operate when
transitioning from ground to air, and from Operate to Standby when
transitioning from air to ground.
If the GTX 345 fails, then external traffic device data is no longer sent to the
display.
When interfaced to an active traffic system, traffic alerts are provided as follows:
Alerts will be provided on the basis of data from the TCAS system for
targets tracked solely via TCAS AND targets that tracked via TCAS
and ADS-B which are correlated.
Alerts will be provided by the GTX 345 for targets that are tracked
solely by ADS-B.
