A Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) works by;

• radar tracking of aircraft movements and issuing of alerts if a conflict is likely to occur

• transponders in aircraft being interrogated by TCAS equipped aircraft

• TCAS equipped aircraft being monitored by transponder equipped aircraft

• transponders in mode C or S providing data to a secondary radar installation

RAIM...

• is an internal test of a GNSS receiver unit

• is an internal algorithm which compares the diagnostic information of the satellites whose signal it can receive

• requires that the receiver be able to see at least 5 satellites

• is not used on the GPS system due to the number of satellites available
