Hi all,
I'm doing an important uni project, and need to find out about the TCAS Traffic-Alert and Collision Avoidance System. I understand that TCAS I works using the Mode C transponder, but I have read that TCAS II requires Mode S. Is this true, or can TCAS II run using only Modes A & C?
I am also still unsure as to how Mode S really work - I have read so much, that I have started to confuse myself
. Any simplified explanation would be apprecaited.
Finally, I need to know whether TCAS III (with the horizontal resolution advisories) also needs Mode S, and if so, does is still need A & C?
Cheers in advance for your time
Phill T
