During a traffic advisory for radar identified aircraft, what information is included about traffic?

The inclusion of clock position, mileage, direction, type of aircraft, and altitude provides pilots with a comprehensive understanding of nearby traffic during a radar advisory. This information helps pilots visualize the location and movement of other aircraft in relation to their own, allowing them to assess potential conflict and take necessary precautions.

Clock position gives a reference point for the potential direction of the other aircraft, while mileage indicates how far away the traffic is. Direction adds another layer of context regarding how the other aircraft is moving in relation to the pilot's flight path. Knowing the type of aircraft can inform pilots about the performance capabilities and expected behavior of that traffic, and altitude provides critical vertical separation information. Together, this detailed information enables pilots to make informed decisions to ensure safety in busy airspace.
