A few TCAS odds and ends
Well, I've answered dozens of TCAS related questions over the years.... now its my turn to ask some please!
1. I seem to recall that there were some TCAS installations that had the ability to show traffic absolute pressure altitude as well as relative. e.g. you are at FL240, other aircraft is at FL230, you could flick a switch to swap the data tag from -10 (relative) to 230 (absolute).
Is anyone still using something like that, or is it strictly v6.04 (or even earlier) vintage?
2. Is anyone is operating a type with a seperate traffic display (i.e. Traffic not integrated with EFIS Nav Display, but with the RA shown on the EFIS PFD rather than a TCAS VSI). I dont have ready access to a wide range of MELs these days and I was hoping you might take a glance at your MEL and see what the deal is if your traffic display is u/s.
Regards all,
