So those who have flown with the system, how does it go with formation flying? The RHWR goes off enough with a/c in close, I can't imagine what manoeuvring formation jets in and out of close would do to TCAS. Then if you turn it off when in formation, for mil jets virtually all the time, what is the point? Also is the system keyed into the performance of the jet or is it generic thinking a typhoon is going to turn like an airliner trying to avoid spilling coffee?
My first thought is false positives would make it a pointless system.
