For those that don't speak plane, this is like saying every red light that tells you to stop and wait for someone is a near miss.

Pilot above is saying they got a red light 5 times in 15 years... hell, they got a give way 5 times when there was actually something there would be more accurate.

I see you don't "speak plane" as well, because this is a terrible explanation

Obeying red light is like obeying air traffic. controller.

getting TCAS advisory is as if you had a system in your car that would tell you "you are too close to the car In front of you - slow down!"

He's not explaining the system, he's explaining why the article is shitty journalism, and it works fine as an explanation for me

If you need an explanation, that means you don't understand the issue well enough to be qualified to decide whether that explanation is good... It's not and the article is not shitty journalism.

Did your mum say it was good and pin it on the fridge 😂
