My CAS-66A TCAS I system seems to be having intermittent problems when flying areas with highly dense traffic, what could be the problem?
The problem is mostly likely that the TPU-66A processor needs its software updated to level 01/14. The problem is caused by an internal buffer overload when operating in areas of high Mode S activity. Honeywell Software Bulletin SWB TPU66A-SW6 reprograms the TPU with new software to increase the size of the buffer to prevent F8601 faults when the TPU is operating in dense Mode S airspace.
Why does Southeast Aerospace not offer exchanges on the TPU-66A TCAS Processor?
Due to the age and mod levels of some TPU-66A processors, the repair costs for cores can many times exceed the value of the unit. Since SEA is committed to offering the most honest, easily understood solutions for its customers, we find it difficult to offer flat rate exchanges for these units. If you are interested in procuring an exchange for the TPU-66A, please use our RFQ function or contact our Sales Dept. today.
What factors could be causing a newly installed or replacement avionics unit to not be working properly?
Many avionics systems require a configuration or setup process. This process is required to interface certain avionics systems to other systems in the aircraft that will be inputting or outputting information to and from these systems. Some examples of systems that require a configuration or setup process include:
Autopilot
EFIS
GPS
EGPWS
EHSI
RADAR
TAWS
TCAS
In addition, most newer technology or solid state systems require configuration via computer interface of some type. A qualified avionics technician should always refer to the appropriate manufacturer's installation manual for complete information and instructions.

Is an STC required for installation of a TAS or TCAS I System?
No, an STC is not required for TAS (Traffic Awareness) and/or TCAS I installations on Part 91 and Part 135 aircraft. FAA order 8900.1 provides guidance for a follow on field approval by the FAA. An FAA approved Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement is required as well.
