None of the small aircraft I have ever flown has had TCAS.. Are you
sure you got that right ???


By "often used," I meant "when present on small aircraft, this is the
type usually used," because it's cheaper. I don't think TCAS is
really present very much on small GA aircraft, but I don't have actual
figures. Since good avionics represent a substantial portion of the
total cost of an aircraft, it follows that one wouldn't see advanced
avionics that often on aircraft that are not otherwise very expensive.
Who would install $2 million of avionics on a $90,000 aircraft?


You're an idiot.
