Hello guys,
Our company just bought a brand new Multifunction tester from Tic: a TR-220. Unfortunately, we didn't received any training except the clap in the back with the user manual...
So tonight, we have to perform full TCAS test on a Dash-8... And it doesn't work! The tester seems to be stuck in ACQ mode and cannot track the signal. So, on the TA/RA VSI there is no target.
:ugh:
-TCAS self-test Pass;
-XPDR test with ramp tester pass;
-We're located in a fairly large hangar, but there's reflection for sure!
-Weight off Wheel is good;
-Rad ALT is set to 2000' AGL;
-Ramp tester power has been boosted up for a try, with no luck;
Any input would be appreciated!
