AGCA,
Thanks for the response. You keep making straw man arguments to issues that no one is raising. To connect the dots from from advocating safety technology and lapses in airmanship is absurd (As is the false alarm thing). I purchased one of the first PF units sold in the US and while the installation can be a bit arbitrary and frustrating, If your buddies are regularly getting false alarms they are doing something wrong.
My club meets regularly with ACT and they have ability to play scope and audio in real time. I watched a near mid air (Between a glider and a B737) that resulted in a TCAS RA at over 17,000ft. Using your logic, 166 people would have payed the price for this pilots "Freedom". But, To the rest of the soaring community, "Freedom" also means responsibility. Responsibility to others in the sport and innocent bystanders who share the airspace. Do us a favor and start another thread.
