So, where is RTCAS? (Runway Traffic Collision And Avoidance System). It needs to be an onbaord system. Going forward, ICAO should demand all runway lighting is LED and have the edge lights turn red when there is crossing traffic.
Wouldn't turning the edge lights red upset the iRVR system, which is calibrated to the edge light brightness setting, making LVPs a bit fun?
