Unhappy

There is a finite limit to the number of TCAS 1 installations that can be operative in one area, due to the possibility of overloading of the system. This occurs because each aircraft interrogates others within its range. Each installation therefore has to be licenced and the number of licences is controlled.

I am not sure about the other systems.
