Roffa so you are saying you already have the automated monitoring - well that's good then. The public don't want acronyms. They want assurance that it's all completely under control and that if 20 seconds is the time to collision that an automatic system will in fact have told everyone what to do at least 12 seconds earlier, so it can't be true. I.e they'd like to know that in actual fact the suggestion of 20 secs to collision at closing speeds of 500kts is a figment of someone's over-active imagination. But that didn't happen, and it was 20 secs.

And what did these two fine new tools show in relation to what Andrew so accurately reported?
