Well, in radar every day and the ssr has been serviced(last 2 months). never normally have problems with other aircraft.
I normally do give distance bearing reports to the other aircraft and i do understand about the big plane/small plane problem, how it is easier to see a 146 or dash than a kingair, but in my personal experience, these guys cruising around with TCAS seem to be the ones pushing the reliance on TCAS. how many bloody times do i ask for distance bearing ref airport and get the reply "we have you on TCAS!!!!!!" well doesn't that just help me with my planning.
It may have been a joke from you, not sure, but saying "Oh well...cant see him...must have avoided him" frightens the crap out of me. I MAKE SURE EVERY TIME that I am clear, even if it annoys the big boys to keep having to answer my questions.
This is also not directed at NJS crew. Again i have had problems with mainly 146 and DASH planes, not particular companies.
Ok, all out now
cheers nb20
