I did not say that he would be able to discern the code, just
that the

You are assuming airliner CDTI equipment will display TIS-B
traffic, and
th=
at CDTI has any capability of showing Mode A codes. Do you know
that for

systems that

TCAS
w=
hich really provides them with all the transponder based collision
avoidanc=
e they need, and TCAS CDTI will not show Mode A codes.

The latest versions of TCAS II utilize hybrid surveillance where the
TCAS
s=
ystems receives 1090ES Out from nearby aircraft and uses that to
augment
po=
sition information/avoid excessive transponder
interrogations/provide long

range traffic display. TCAS does not use that data directly for
issuing a
T=
A or RA. AFAIK TCAS II hybrid surveillance relies on 1090ES Out
from the
ta=

anybody=
knows different it would be great to know what exact system that
is.


Thank You!
