Skywatch processors (TRC497 and TRC899) with Software version 1.8 include a Verbal Intruder Positioning (VIP) feature that verbally announces traffic advisories (TA) through the aircraft audio system. In addition to the software update needed for the processor, a panel mounted on/off switch is installed to allow the pilot to turn on and off (mute) the range, relative altitude and relative bearing callout from the aural TAs. The audible “Traffic, Traffic” will always be announced per TSO C-147 ser forth by the FAA.
