Wow! And I thought we had ICAO aiming at harmonization. So I guess in this case the first world can learn a lot from a third world best practice solution (radio calls). 10 pages of debate Mk1 vs TCAS, and a working low-tech solution is right there
.
For the record, I am still going to install a FLARM or Monroy type of personal collision avoidance system (that picks up ADS-B, TPX S,
and TPX C traffic) in my aircraft, as radio calls do not 100% guarantee separation in the pattern of small, unmanned GA airports, and - as others have reported - there is the odd pilot who is flying without sending regular position reports.
I think the more it is an audio warning of only the closest, immediate threats, and the less it requires to constantly check minute symbols on a tablet computer down on your knee, the better.
