If in doubt ... SHOUT!!! Episode 04

Episode 04 - If in doubt ... SHOUT!!
As a pilot, if ever you feel unsure of your clearance or traffic situation, PLEASE call us in ATC to check.
We highlight, based upon the EuroControl ACAS Guide, the limited bearing accuracy in TCAS.
A TCAS event on the interface of Controlled and Uncontrolled airspace, with full procedural separation was in place, is explored
And finally, a TCAS event in an A320 simulator with automatic TCAS response is run.
Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to Irish Skies Pod and please spread the word amongst your friends and colleagues in the aviation industry.
Thanks,
Mick Campbell.
