... Dave S writes: Yes... YOU did.... Where? TCAS uses at least one directional antenna. It is this antenna that provides azimuth information, independently of any equipment ATC might have. The directional characteristic required for the antenna provides very low azimuth resolution, which means that bearing information on the TCAS display is only approximately accurate, unless the equipment substantially exceeds the minimum requirements for the system. This is more or less correct. TCAS is also inaccurate in range compared to a ground based sensor. |

His inference is actually quite correct. You do not fly, have never flown,
and easily could have looked up how the various traffic alerting systems work. Yet, you make blanket unsubstantiated statements that are not based on either knowledge or experience. The responses that you elicit simply point out the fact that you are not a pilot and have no knowledge or experience flying or working with avionics. |

Before we continue with Anthony, let's all remember that will never admit he
is incorrect or has made a misstatement. Bottom line is that he has never, ever flown with TCAS, TIS, ADS-B, or for that matter a Narco Mark 12. Rather than argue minor points, why bother since he has no experience with any of these systems and wouldn't even know how to turn one on let alone use it effectively or understand how they work. |

Good question. I don't argue with him for that very reason. I suspect that those who do have some burning need to feel like they have accomplished something, but proving you have more experience than someone who has zero experience is not much of an accomplishment in my book. Anthony doesn't nym shift, so anyone who is annoyed can simply add him to their killfile. I don't really care if anyone beats up on Anthony as he well deserves it for a number of reasons, but justifying beating up on him by saying he's a hazard to aviation is truly pathetic. |

Agree completely, mostly I respond because he's an idiot.

Few people with a correctly configured sim call it a game. It is not possible to correctly configure that game to be a real aviation simulator. But, since you are only a simulated pilot, you just don't understand that. |

Sign me pathetic. I was trying to make a point (perhaps a bit too strongly) about a jerk who speaks with such authority and who has zero flying experience or credentials. |

Be that as it may the problem with that approach is occassionally Anthony is right. If you simply post a blanket statement that says Anthony is always wrong, you might want to be sure that what he just posted was. Otherwise a casual reader might question your knowledge, experience, and credibility rather than his. |
