How do you maintain separation from other ground-craft? GCT?


I'm ugly, which serves as my TCAS.


Visual conditions are required for ugliness separation.

Why do you think that?


Because all the evidence points to it.


Only if you have selective evidence tracking.

Why would people fly if it did not provide some benefit?


Because they enjoy flying.


Most people enjoy having sex. And yet there are many reasons that people
have sex.

Why do people ride horses? It certainly isn't for transportation.


Some people actually DO ride horses for transportation. Someone else
mentioned the Amish, who do it for religious reasons. Mounted Police patrol
numerous cities around the world including New York, London, Toronto,
Washington DC, and Detroit because it is more efficient for their purpose.
There are certain parts of the world where riding a horse or pack animal is
the only possible way to navigate the terrain.

However, there are other ways in which I find your example very
appropriate. In New York, the Mounted Police and Horse & Buggy drivers put
blinders on the sides of the horses' heads. The blinders allow the horses
to see only in the direction that their head is pointed at any given time.
This helps prevent them from being scared of the busy world around them so
that they can pretend that it does not exist.

Many pedestrians are equipped with radar that warns them of ugly
traffic without the need to look.

Apart from enjoying it, the only other reason that occurs to me is
reproduction, and I don't think that's a common reason.

But most people don't.

I don't think pilots have that problem, usually.

Man, you are not playing with a full deck of cards to say something as
stupid as the above.

Time to leave that sim world and join the REAL world.....
