Does TCAS SPOT METERORITES
 

:( It would be instructive to know

I guess it would depend on the range of TCAS and the speed and density of the objects. I'm assuming that the plume/contrail from the meteors was at the edge of the atmosphere, therefore way higher than any commercial flying. Pretty impressive the way the sonic boom(s) had such force at ground level smashing windows and even doors :ooh:

tcas
 

It will only spot meteroits with earth designed transponders fitted and mode c turned on

Can't decide, should this be on Jetblast or the the Tech forum?

The answer is in #3 so it can just be locked now.

From what i know, it can not.

Or at least before we get any more variations on the spelling of meeteyoright. :O

Imagine the pondering if a meatyoright DID show up on TCAS.....................

Not to mention ATC's failure to vector the Meteostarboard away from known traffic......

Yep, it's got to be jetblast!

Does anyone know what action you should take if you get an RA with a meteorite?? :E

Whatever it tells you to do!

Put your head between your legs.....

But does the meteor get an RA too? (it's not a meteorite till it hits the ground). Perhaps this would be a good way to deflect the ones that might destroy the Earth:8

Does anyone know what they are made of?

Some strange things have been turning up in the freezer sections at TESCO and many other supermarkets recently.

Per Ardua ad Astra?

oh you funny guys...its a trick question...everyone knows a METEORITE is a meteor that has struck the earth.

now, the trick is prior to being a meteorite, it was a meteor, and I'm assuming a GLOSTER METEOR properly equipped IAW ICAO regulations with an operating 4096 mode c transponder

so, yes the tCAS will pick up the gloster meteor, but after it crashes into the earth, it won't.

oh you british...!
