When It is "NOT" escorted does it use TCAS??




This would be one more reason for those of us that still do not have transponders


to get that taken care of.




I don't know if it has TCAS, but it's in a Restricted area when it's not

being escorted, so I assume all the pertinent parties in the area are

aware of each other, even without TCAS.
