TCAS and (a well understood and refined) STCA should be a safety net, like GPWS and MSAW alerts, the last line of defence. Or we suggesting that we using GPWS to conduct an IFR arrival in IMC?
The problem is that expenditure in air traffic control equipment and technologies has lagged significantly behind aircraft avionics. Not enough $ spent in the correct areas, and once again AsA returning a dividend to the government has clearly distorted better safety outcomes.
