If the TCAS gives an RA the airliner must take the action suggested. Do TCAS RA's take terrain into account? |

It has already saved a few friends of mine, in one case IFR vs. IFR in the flight levels. Perhaps it is not as safe as it could be, but it's a lot safer than not having it at all. Again, you are mistaking a technology that helps increase overall safety statistics with one that can be counted on in every situation to improve safety. There's a difference. |

It will not drive it self into the ground. Knowing how high it is, is only part of what's needed -- does it know where it is, and how high the terrain is nearby? Cheers, Sydney |

You very rarely if ever see a bad mode C on an airliner. The implication is that airliners use better transponders and/or associated equipment. What are they using? Better maintenance maybe?

He did a great job - every handoff was accompanied by "123.45, Great job today! Thanks" If you wanted to coomend his work, you'd have to dial the main commercial line into the facility with your kudos. Even then it is unlikely the actual controller would hear of it (unless it was BAD service, and then they'd track it down). I'd say the best way to commend his work would be this: On one of those days when you are dealing with an ATC Jackass somewhere in the system, just remember that good controllers like the ZME guy exist too.

ink.net... I was just remaking your point. "Piling on" so to speak. Sometimes you are just too darned succinct. I see no reason to use twenty words if I can say it in ten. I know. |

wrote How would that provide proof that the collision took place in IMC? Because the guy at 7000 stated he was in IMC. That's not proof, that's a statement. The other plane was "saying" it's VMC. |
