Hi,
Quick google search on "TCAS filter slow" and similar didn't get me what I wanted, so here goes... Do TCAS systems filter out targets which have slow/no ground speed? Reason for asking... I got into wave yesterday, and while climbing through 11,000 MSL NW of Allentown PA had an American Airlines CRJ pass nearby. I would guesstimate that he was about 500 above and a half mile horizontal. It wasn't really close - I had him in sight for over a minute and was edging away laterally to gain separation. But, it was a little closer than the published TA/RA numbers I've seen in manuals. I was essentially stationary for 20 minutes. By comparison, later in the flight I watch an A300 make a sweeping turn around me at 9,000 as I crossed a well-published STAR. I also checked in with Allentown approach, and they painted me just fine on their ground radar. Curious... P3 |
