"Case in point that TCAS cannot be used as a fail safe or mitigator as it(the machine) worked perfectly yet the accident still occured."

So what does work perfectly all the time every time?

I like the idea posted earlier in this thread, if it flies stick a transponder in it (and turn it on) and for that matter ADSB as its supposed to be happening should be mandatory. Then Bloggs and co do not have to worry below 10k .......which is a concern in some places of high RAA activity with no requirement for a transponder.

Really this flying stuff is not that hard, sure it requires some brains and some effort, but really why does everyone from bugsmashers to jet jockeys to legislators make it so damned difficult!
