Here in Vancouver BC, Nav Canada is proposing some airspace changes.
Among other things they are pushing "voluntary CAS (collision avoidance
system)" on the grounds that they believe it is affordable now. Is it
really? Anybody have this?

A cryptic PP presentation of the proposed changes is he

When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate.

I have PCAS in my Mooney and TIS in the 182. The PCAS can be useful to
get you to start looking around. However, at times it seems to be more
annoying. I'll get alarms that an aircraft is w/i .02 miles and never
see anything.

If my information is correct, that particular unit would be dandy in a
glider, but you won't be able to hear it in a typical light plane. It has that
tiny speaker and no way to connect to your headset or audio panel. To be of any
use, you would have to discipline yourself to include it in your visual scan.
