By carefully reading this manual, you can become familiar with the TAS600 Series System and how to get the best performance from your investment. Warning: The TAS600 Series System does not detect all aircraft. It is designed as a backup to the See and Avoid concept and the ATC Radar environment. See Limits, Appendix 1. Refer to this handbook for the TAS600 Series System limits. Caution: This handbook and the Avidyne TAS600 systems are advisory only. Any action recommended in this manual or made as a result of data supplied by the TAS600 Series System must be in accordance with applicable Aviation Regulations and common sense. The pilot in command is the final authority as to the operation of the aircraft. TSO INFORMATION The Avidyne TAS600, TAS605, TAS610, TAS615, TAS620, and the 9900BX, collectively known as the TAS600 Series, comply with the requirements of TSO-C147 Class B.
