Tcas

Guys, I'm flying a Citation V in the US at the moment, the tcas is going off all the time due to the density of traffic. Around New York and Washington it gets very hectic.
One thing I will say is that you would be amazed how much traffic there is that you wouldn't normally see without Tcas.
Its a bit like driving on the freeway some times!
The kit is very relevant in such dense airspace but I'm sure that the CAA should give some of the guys in SA with older equipment a bit of a break. Especially for Tcas II
In the States we are now getting ready for RVSM compliance. The bird I'm flying is pretty new so it has all the toys but the guys with older machines are going to schlep.
The guys here tell me it is quiet at the moment. I can't wait to see what its like when its busy !
