Actually – unless you know where to find some very dodgy controllers the best way to see TCAS in action is to rent some simulator time so you can safely explore (and fly) a whole range of TCAS scenarios
Thanks for the reasoned response.Actually the reason for bring back fam flights is to introduce a dialogue between all of us,not to see two aircraft use the kit for real!!
.There will soon be a generation of ATC's who will have seen a total of ZERO aircraft up close and personal,their whole experience being derived from a few hours of PPL training and a course at Cranebank(I believe!).The aerodrome side of training for all is being removed and I believe this is to the detriment of OUR(i.e. you AND me) business as a whole.As to renting simulator time...do the bean counters see a cost benefit? If they don't it won't happen...not holding MY breath.I saw the TCAS in operation in a sim at Cranebank....how many more experienced Atco's will?
