There is nothing wrong with the TCAS. It is working as it was designed. I have been flying to the US, Canada and Europe for a number of years now and while TA’s are not uncommon, RA’s are definitely not. Looking at out company stats system wide they are not very common at all and definitely are treated as a breakdown in separation. For a regulator like CASA/ASA or the ATSB to say that they aren’t fly’s directly in the face of international norms. I think John Anderson and the like need to wake up and smell the roses because very soon if they don’t they will be smelling s**t which will be on their faces.
