Discussion on dealing with future ADIZ Incursions by light A/C
I would like to start a thread on what I see as the most pertinent
take-away from yesterday's incursion: How can the current responses be modified to make the response more relevant to the threat, when the inevitable occurs again and a pilot gets lost? Assuming pilots won't get lost in the future doesn't seem very realistic (how many of us can say that we were never lost?). And there seems to be general consensus that the images on CNN of F-16's cavorting while the Cessna put-putted its merry way, interspersed with shots of people fleeing the Capitol, were faintly ridiculous and put the US in a bad light. So what's the solution? CNN showed a red-green laser system they want to use to signal pilots, but it's not clear how this would have addressed the most recent incursion. One of the issues is that there is no easy way to distinguish a 1200 sqawk from an L-4 (no, or minimum, threat) from the same squawk from a G-4, which I think all of can agree could do significant damage. Consequently, we adopt a one-resposne fits all policy to any incursion. Are there any technological tricks which would help tailor the response to the type of ariplane involved? Hank Rausch N8806T |
