This is getting more interesting.

FB where are those beers you were getting? By the way I bet they (non equipped RAA's) do not show up on your Avidyne display do they?
Beers are for nights after the days work is done.

No need to 'electronicly' see VFR traffic. I look out the window - unlike some pilots in this country

I do note though, that in the U.S. on a clear day, there was a mid-air collision of two aircraft, and one had a TAS and had identified the opposeing traffic in time to aviod. (the pilot lived) Unforetunatly, the other aircraft (fatal) had turned to a different heading just before impact. It appears to me that instead of looking at a screen and attempting to work out what to do next - somebody should have looked out the window.

If both aircraft had a TAS - would the accident have happened ? maybe we would have had a game of dodgems anyway. Sort of what you get when you walk down the footpath. Remember there is rarely a direct head-on situation in low level flight. i.e. the circuit area.

Jabawocky, I havnt seen the phone number yet ?
