Mode S overload
An interesting article just appeared in Aviation Ebrief:
"Holland's trial of Mode-S transponders led to a requirement that all aircraft operating within Dutch airspace be equipped with the transponders. However, the ATC system was overwhelmed by data from the Mode-S transponders, and now all aircraft flying below 1,200 feet are required to keep the transponders on standby." Here's a link to the full article: http://www.ainonline.com/news/single...le-in-holland/ I wonder how much testing and simulation has been done for busy US terminal areas? Charlie
