TCAS Type 1 does not provide avoidance maneuver guidance.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. N/A

Answer: (A)

This statement is true. TCAS Type 1 provides only traffic advisories, not avoidance maneuvers. It alerts you to nearby traffic and predicts potential conflicts, giving you situational awareness, but it does not issue resolution advisories or commands for vertical or other avoidance maneuvers. The ability to provide explicit avoidance guidance comes with TCAS II, which can generate resolution advisories like “Climb” or “Descend” to help you avoid a collision. So with Type 1, you rely on visual separation, ATC guidance, or other procedures rather than automated maneuver instructions.
