1.1. Introduction
Bombardier Global 8000
Bombardier Global 8000 is a new aircraft family built by a Canadian aircraft holding company that allows its passengers to experience the mainline level of comfort.
The whole dimensions of the plane’s exterior is (27ft 1 in / 8.3m) for the overall height, (102ft 2 in / 31.2m) for the length, and (104ft / 31.7m) for the wingspan. The landing and take-offdistances for the airplane is approximately5,800ft and 2,810ft respectively. The maximum weight the plane can carry is 2,585kg and its maximum fuel is 8,171kg.

In the event the TCAS predicts a possible mid-air collision, traffic advisory (TA) will be generated and the pilots will be warned using aural and visual annunciations. The opposing aircraft would be highlighted on the Navigation Display (ND) or TCAS display as an orange diamond.
If the TCAS detects that the aircraft is still on a collision course, a Resolution Advisory (RA) will be provided; by illuminating the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) with green and red bars, displaying the required rate of climb or descent in order to steer clear of conflict. Aural annunciations would also warn the pilots to climb or descend.
4.2 Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS)
ATCRBS shares the same frequency bands as Identification, friend or foe (IFF). An interrogation signal is send out from the ground (1030 MHz) through a rotational antenna to aircrafts flying in its sector. Aircraft equipped with transponders obtain these interrogations and send a respond back (1090 MHz)
There are two primary types of interrogations:
Mode A interrogations are used for plane identification information.
Mode C interrogations are used for altitude
