RESULTS OF TCAS 2 SIMULATIONS IN RECONSTRUCTED NEAR MISSES (7/86 TO 6/86)

ERGEBNISSE DER TCAS II-SIMULATION IN REKONSTRUIERTEN GEFAERLICHEN BEGEGNUNGEN (7/86 BIS 6/89)

This report describes investigations of traffic movements in controlled airspaces when the Bundesanstalt fuer Flugsicherung received a report of a near miss. The work focused on an analysis of the effectiveness of a TCAS 2 on-board traffic alert and collision avoidance system during the near misses concerned. A proposal for a 'provisional standard' for ACAS 2 has been available to ICAO since April 1989: the task in the coming approx. 5 years will be to validate and possibly modify the system on the basis of actual traffic events. The results in this report are intended as a step in this direction.
