L16 is only good if everyone is using it. It may be easier around Jax, but there aren't anywhere near enough MDLs to go around on a flight schedule around SOCAL, at least for the helo dudes. I'm kind of wondering if the P-8 and -60R share some radar characteristics that maybe the Super doesn't have, but I'd kind of doubt it. Or maybe the jet guys have just told ATC to pack sand while the HSM/VP guys are busy apologizing while pushing their glasses up their nose.
Polling transponders can't be harmful. TCAS systems work by polling nearby aircraft's transponders.
Seriously?
We've got support for everyone to have 2 JUs per squadron out on the east coast.
Eh, I didn't make the rule, just repeating it. Like I hinted at, pretty much everyone "solves" the problem. That said, I'm guessing the interrogator operates differently than TCAS. It might be written in a book somewhere, but I'm just not motivated enough to go to the secret squirrel building and log in to look it up.
I believe it's the same, at least on the HSM side, but that doesn't solve the problem if there's more than 2 aircraft airborne at the same time.
All the new "stuff" is obviously worth it's weight in gold. Think night, lights-out VIDs when the zombies come. Practice for it. Better to "know it" and not need it, than to need it, and not "know it".
Sorry, but not knowing why ATC has an issue about it has nothing to do with being able to use it. And if you read between the lines in my post(s), you'll see how it's not actually that big a deal for ATC.
