On Waiting for the BUSt
FINDO SAID:
The only possible drawback to this is the speed at which it can be displayed to ATC and the time taken assimilate the information and act upon it, possibly in a busy ATC environment. At worst it should merely add to the information available to all parties.
But it may even crank up the overtransmitting that usually occurs.... and totally negates any R/T inputs.
I also disagree that ATC-monitored ground radar (AMASS or Whatever) can ever overcome the similar problem of undoing a runway incursion that's already happened (or is in process of happening). There comes a point in every fiasco where the pilot enters survival mode. With runway incursion it's via Dreadle (search Google if you don't read ASW). With acute loss of separation, it's the TCAS RA response (by the numbers) - and not via the voice of authority over the Russian pilot's shoulder.
