TCAS and Fast Jets
Just a quick question...
Towards the end of last year whilst on a flight over the north sea we had the great sight of what my FO claimed was a tornado.
Only snag was we got an RA on our TCAS and had to put the aircraft into a steep climb.
Am I right in assuming that miltary FJ's have no TCAS and ours was reacting purely to the other aircrafts mode C and was probably confused due to the speed of the FJ.?
What is the best way for us to let you know we are about (ATC told us about the other aircraft only after the event) if the weather radar is on will you pick it up on your ESM equipment and thereby know we are there and so avoid us or is that just wishful thinking?
Thanks in advance.
