You know nothing of the technical standards regarding TCAS, nor the

I know that TCAS displays are mediocre in azimuth, and that their accuracy in
this respect depends hugely on the design of the hardware on the local
aircraft (since it must depend essentially on radar sweeps to determine
azimuth). Distance is more reliable. Altitude depends on the accuracy of the
remote transponder.

TCAS is not the only traffic display device out there.

What other ones are there, and how do they work?

Andrew.. I'm not doing your homework for you, so that you can then
pretend to know what you are talking about. And true TCAS does not need
any radar sweeps from ATC to do its job (thats the last freebee to a sim
pilot). If you KNEW what the hell you were talking about you would
understand why.

Again. You dont know. You are guessing. You are giving erroneous advice
that potentially can get someone killed if they follow what you are
saying as accurate.

Does that bother you in the least?
