- SkyWatch monitors the airspace around an aircraft and indicates where to look for nearby transponder-equipped aircraft that may pose a collision threat.
- After receiving replies to its Mode C type interrogations, the SkyWatch system computes the responding aircraftâs range, bearing, relative altitude and closure rate ÷ predicting potential traffic conflicts within an 11 mile (SkyWatch) or 35 mile (SkyWatch HP) range.
- If a potential conflict exists, SkyWatch will issue an aural traffic alert through the aircraftâs audio system and display the visual target using TCAS-like symbology.
