First about the best ever. To beat a pilots’ strike in 1993, Indian Airlines had wet-leased foreign airplanes, complete with ...

Elix-IR is a latest-generation Threat Warning System that captures imagery from sensors operating in medium-wave infrared (IR) that can be installed on fixed wing, rotary wing and unmanned air platfor ...

When we think about adding remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs) to the National Airspace System (NAS) we must find ways to ...

European air transport legislation has been revised to enable introduction of airborne collision-avoidance systems based on alternative conflict-resolution modelling.

According to the FAA, the TCAS is part of the Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS), which is a safety-enhancing system to reduce the chances of mid-air collisions between aircraft.

We also have advanced runway safety technology at the busiest airports, and airliners have on-board collision-avoidance systems," said an FAA spokesperson in an emailed statement Thursday afternoon.

‍ DALLAS — A Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), or an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS), is an anti-collision system that prevents mid-air collisions (MACs) between ...

Pilots got 100 collision warnings for helicopters near National in past decade The incidents, logged by air traffic controllers, reveal that the risks of helicopters and airliners sharing the ...

Opinion We have systems to avoid midair collisions. Why don’t we deploy them? These are not futuristic concepts of aviation safety. The D.C. plane crash shows we need to use them.

The system – also sometimes referred to as an ACAS (Airborne Collision Avoidance System) – operates independently of an external air traffic control system. Its purpose is to alert pilots immediately ...

And he was so close to the ground," O'Shaughnessy said. She said planes are equipped with a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) that, when airborne, lets you know how close another aircraft is.

It's an airborne electronic system that functions independently of the ground-based air traffic control (ATC) system, and provides collision avoidance protection for a broad spectrum of aircraft ...
