A cockpit display or electronic flight bag app showing traffic information from ADS-B IN data would have alerted the pilots of two training aircraft involved in a fatal mid-air collision near Mangalore, Victoria to the position of the other aircraft much earlier compared to visual acquisition, an Australian Transport Safety Bureau study concludes.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. We all see those 'paints' on our EFB's and it's not often I see the aircraft in the position the EFB says it's in. The aircraft had traffic on each other, they knew about each other yet still hit. It doesn't appear that any effort was made by either aircraft to arrange their own separation. You know what would have prevented this accident? Controlled airspace.
