No ACAS in acft <30 pax or <15000kg
 

Am I the only one who considers this to be a major safety-issue?

Lots of acft's up there without ACAS due to present ICAO regullations.

Is it an economical consideration?

PT only, or PT in airways only ? Or all < 30 pax or < 15000 kg ?

All <30 pax or <15000kg

The requirement to carry ACAS is being extended to include (most of) these aircraft from January 2005.

Regards.

Is there a sign confusion here, or am I being dense ?

Do I understand that anything with LESS than 30 passengers, or which weighs LESS than 15000kg, will need some sort of ACAS, no matter what ? Which includes ANY aircraft in ANY airspace, so pretty much anything which leaves the surface of the earth will need ACAS ?

My god, no ACAS?! How will we cope.....

Radar and looking out the window i guess...... like before.. :D
