GA Collision good outcome
A number of recommendations are made which will contribute to mitigating the risk of such potentially tragic events.
Despite this I have the feeling that there is an elephant in the room and it has not been talked about.
Until now the tried and true “see and be seen” strategy has worked well. This is just as well because there has really been no alternative. Time however has passed and now it is time to recognise that a new way has to be found to address the matter of traffic avoidance.
There are a number of existing technologies which address this problem and a choice should be made and a strategy devised to incorporate appropriate new technology into the SOPs of GA.
Cost and technical difficulty will be cited as reasons not to do this but if the Aviation industry does not take the initiative others will take action and the decisions they take might not be informed and may not be optimal for anyone.
