it's not a collision avoidance aid, and it won't be fitted to CAT aircraft... Is that enough?
You miss the point totally. Flam is not an anti collision device it is a situation awareness enhancing tool. What do you expect for 1000 Dollars, a TCAS substitute ? For me every bit than can avoid accidents is worth looking into. Flam is a bloody good idea,( but not the only one )
I sencerely doubt that either the fling wing or Katana was doing 250 kts mate!
Totally different subject my friend, My remark was made for LoCo jets when operating into ( small ) regional airports in Europe , not refering to this perticular accident.
