Situational awareness is not a bad thing (actually it's a really good
thing), if you know how to make use of it.Â* Yesterday, climbing out in our airplane, I saw an ADS-B blip on the display.Â* It was 4 or 5 miles away at about 10 o'clock and about 900 feet above our altitude.Â* As we climbed, the altitude separation decreased but the clock position did not change.Â* Still about 3 or 4 miles away, I made a slight turn into the target to get him moving across our nose.Â* Once he was moving relative to us, I knew there was no collision possibility unless he did something to change the setup. At two miles we got a "Traffic, 2 miles, low" warning and I saw a small helicopter passing below us. Now that may seem like a lot of attention given to a single target, but it was only brief glances and quick analyses of the situation. Most of the time was spent looking at the upcoming mountain pass and keeping eyes on the outside for traffic.Â* The "fish finder" is simply a backup device (but a good one for what it does).

Posted one of these before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQmdoK_ZfY Consider all the gear up warnings that get ignored. Just because something beeps doesn't mean we will notice. And all the traffic alerts that aren't a factor are a distraction from flying and looking for the one with our name on it. ADS-B alerts train pilots to be distracted and stressed by traffic that isn't a collision risk. While adding to risk homeostasis. With widespread adoption of this stuff you will see just as many if not more midairs. Damnit, you are SO FULL OF **** it is unbelievable. If you can't keep track of a collision warning display while flying, you have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS BEING IN MY SKY. Pathetic. Go crawl back into your cave and huddle by your fire as the storm goes by. Oh wait, that fire technology is bad and dangerous and makes you more likely to be eaten by a wolf! Please take your flat-earth chem-trail BS somewhere else. Kirk 66 NOT scared by technology. -- Dan, 5J |
