Mode S and TCAS
Imagine the followign hypothetical situation:
Two aircraft are on respective courses which will result in them becoming very close to each other. One is a public transport aircraft, fitted with TCAS. The second has a Mode S transponder, but not TCAS (for example, a General Aviation aircraft of the near future, if Mode S is made mandatory).
Will the first aircraft's TCAS be able to give a RA? Or will it just give a TA, exactly as if the second aircraft just had Mode C?
Thanks!
