ABSTRACT:
An aircraft indicating system for displaying a resolution advisory signal from a Traffic Advisory and Collision Avoidance System provides an indicating pitch attitude symbol to the pilot engendering an instinctive response to avoid a collision. A driving circuit converts a TCAS signal in the form of a vertical speed command to a pitch command for energizing the indicating symbol by effecting a vertical displacement thereof in accordance with the guidance resolution advisory. The display signal is generated in accordance with the relationship: ##EQU1## where: .PHI.=aircraft roll attitude, limited to + or - 30.degree.
