BOI into the 2012 Tornado Collision over the Moray Firth
As was discussed a couple of pages ago, there are very few here who have flown with TCAS on a FJ. I have and I can tell you that as a bog standard civvy grade TCAS it is not really up to the task. It is useful in a few scenarios, such as IFR flight in and around busy airports and non tactical sorties, but actually quite annoying in others. This means that a better, more advanced system should be designed and procured. This is, of course an expensive process. Or we could just buy an off the shelf product simply to please the media and ignore the wishes of crews and the real problem, which is that currently available systems are not well suited to FJ operations.
Of course some of you will disagree, as is your right, but please ensure you speak from a position of authority rather than just based on something you read in the Daily Mail.
