I mentioned the use of ADS-B technology in an earlier post on this thread, but didn't explain how I thought it could be used. Perhaps the presentation on Day 2 at 16.20 (ATSA-SURF - Enhanced situational awareness under adverse weather conditions) will help to explain what I mean:-
Joint Fifth ASAS-TN2 Workshop and Second FLYSAFE Forum ? ASAS TN
I know these are advanced concepts but I remain convinced that the display of other traffic using ADS-B In and Out, together with data linked warnings and taxi instructions will be the way forward as traffic levels rise and to help resolve mis-perceptions of the type that may have occurred at SFO.
One day soon I hope that a technological solution along these lines will become the norm.
