As has already ready said, a great 'tool in the box' at low-level
Does anyone know if the trial included a look in to terrain-linked effects on the signal? (i.e 'wave bending' effects or a LL signal bounced off of water?)
TCAS works as long as both ac are transponding - anyone remember the 2 Hawk vs. airliner Airprox somewhere in the NW of England? I seem to remember that one major factor was that the Hawk(s) weren't squawking. Has any SOP been implemented to ensure that all LL ac ARE squawking in that environment - without it, TCAS is surely only a distraction at LL?
L
kout still wins the day methinks.
