  1. 1) The heights and clearances given by the Control Areas and the Air Traffic Controllers.

    2) Quadrantal Height Separation System.

    3) Filing of Flight Plans prior to flying.

    4) Ground and on-board radars.

    5) Last but not the least - good lookout.


  2. It is a secondary radar installed in all commercial aviation aircraft called TCAS. The radar computers in two aircraft on a collision course will 'speak' to one another, and one will tell the pilot to climb and the other will say descend. So both aircraft manoeuvre to avoid one another.

    TCAS stands for traffic collision avoidance system and is a brand name of an instrument called ACAS. Airborne collision avoidance system, much like Hoover has become the general name for vacuum cleaner

  3. Firstly every a/c is given an different altitude to fly.Secondly every a/c is fitted with anti collision lights, one on top and one in the bottom. These lights will flash 90 times in a minutes.

    If two a/c come in the close range to each other the light flashes can be counted. If the number of flashes are less than 90 per minutes then the distance bitween the a/c is very close and it can be dangerous.

  4. The main method is the "big sky concept"  mid-air collisions are rare because seldom do aircraft occupy the same place in the big sky. After that its up to the pilots to keep a good look out. Next is air traffic control. Last but not least is good luck.

  5. CHANGING THE ALTITUDE OF BOTH THE PLANE IS THE BEST METHOD TO AVOID THE AIR ACCIDENT B/W TWO PLANES.....

    AIR TRAFIC IS VERY HIGH THESE DAYS SO CHANGING THE ALTITUDE IS THE BEST METHOD......

  6. modern a/c uses TCAS (trafic collation advisory system) this is a sistem that consist 3 pt 1-visual panel (pilot instrument),transponder for a/c introgation within a/c to a/mc and antena...at the a/c display there will be 2 kind of indication 1 (RA resolution advisory and TA traffic) it show the other a/c around the host a/c and what it is doing(climbing/decending..etc)  this is done by the transponder autimatically and tcas system actually advices the pilot to fly the ac to avoid any kind of accident. the advice will be announced in the cockpit via the norm speakers and a diplay to guide the ac to climb or desent....tcas only advic3es climb /decent and maintain altitude only does not tells to fly left or righr...

  7. The two eyes in my head, but if they can't find the traffic:

    Air Traffic control radar and the controller operating it  

    TCAS- Traffic collision avoidance system which uses the transponder(electronic signal generator) signal from another airplane and displays it on a screen in the cockpit, allowing pilots to avoid other aircraft.  This is a  required system on airliners over 19 seats, though quite a few corporate aircraft have it too.

    On-board radar CAN show traffic, but it only shows up as a blip, if at all. We don't use it for traffic avoidance, just weather avoidance

  8. While TCAS is a very good system, it is the last line of defense against a mid-air collision.  In the air traffic control centers, the user request evaluation tool or URET projects the trajectory of each aircraft up to 20 minutes in the future.  If any aircraft will come between 5-10 miles of each other (which is acceptable) the controller will be warned with a yellow alert.  If separation will be projected to be less than 5 miles, a red alert is shown on the display.  Most controllers "see" these potential conflicts well in advance, before URET sees it.  While the job sounds automated, the human controller still makes all the decisions and knows how to separate traffic.  This system serves as a back up to the controller's eye.  Should a potential conflict slip through all this, the collision alert system will activate when aircraft are about to lose separation.  The datablocks associated with the aircraft begin to blink to get the controllers attention so that he or she may take immediate action.

  9. ACAS (Aircraft Collision Avoidance Systems) Operated by radio controllers. That is for IR (Instrument rating) aircraft; while VFR (Visual flight rating- small aircraft) aircraft have to look out for one another, however Air Traffic Control (ATC) will watch over them and warn them of aircraft in very close proximity via radio.

  10. The chief method is simply visual surveillance by pilots.  Visual alertness accounts for about 99 percent of all aircraft separation.

    The second common method is altitude separation.  Aviation regulations specify altitudes for aircraft flying in various general directions, to minimize the likelihood of collisions.

    Some, but by no means all, commercial aircraft are equipped with TCAS and other electronic aids for avoiding other aircraft.  These can be a big help in heavy traffic and bad weather; however, the chief responsibility remains with the individual pilot, whose job is to see and avoid conflicting traffic.

    That is the real and correct answer.

  11. Radar.

    Good Luck...

  12. Avio....

    I agree with everything you said except;

    I don't know how long ago you retired, but ALL commercial aircraft are required by FAR part 121.356 to have TCAS installed. So, they all now have it installed.

    That is the real answer...
