Re: TCAS on Emer Descent

As unlikely as it might seem, I just throw this in as food for thought:

Anyone selecting TA only is always told that other aircraft in the vicinity on TA/RA will do the avoiding. Sure. But what if other aircraft in the vicinity are also on TA only (single-engine; gear-down ferry)? Don't assume that everyone else will, or is 'programmed' to, get out of your way. Again, as unlikely as it is, I throw it in as something to keep at the back of your mind.
