speaking of mid-air's, thursday while flying into phoenix area (FFZ),
while over deer valley airport, my TCAS went off (the wife)...she was
getting all excited...so I make a hard turn and ask her if he was
going to hit us, and
she was like no, I just thought you wanted to know that he was down
there, he is gone now.
I almost threw her out of the airplane and told her to walk for now
on.
the way she was saying he was below us I thought he was climbing up
right under us.
Maybe that's why "TCAS units" need to talk to one another, and why
specific training, plus experience, is required to deal properly
with their warnings.
Me and my TCAS constantly have trouble communicating. I am thinking of
trading her in for a newer model, but am concerned that this may be just
too expensive to be worthwhile. Also I am somewhat concerned that I might
permanently damage the two dependent systems that we have.
