Wrong Stuff wondered:
If I get a Mode S transponder, the TCAS of an airliner coming the other way is able to chat to my Mode S transponder and find out what level I'm at, the same as Mode C. I can't see where the negotiation is going to come in, though, because I won't have TCAS
That's not the way I understood it - I thought that the TCAS-equipped aircraft would still negotiate with the other Mode-S equipped aircraft, and the pilot would get an RA. The pilot of the other aircraft would obviously not get an RA, not having TCAS. But I'm not certain, so I've started a
thead on the Questions forum to try to find out.
