Do you understand how TCAS works?
Yes, very well in fact, I also know how AIS works, how it's interrogated and of course how it can in certain circumstances mimic a mode C target, so the question is Don, do YOU understand how TCAS works and are you aware of some of its specific limitations?
I have received a TA from a vessel of the high seas (In a product from TLS), and I'm fairly confident the the manufacturer of both transponders are aware of the potential for this event to occur.
Ignorance is bliss?
Re, GA's do you slavishly follow your FD's, do you remember the pitch v power couple? FWIW I've seen AB->B converts do their best to stall on a GA as they happily let the jet pitch up in GA power and forget to trim....
