  19. The information is amazingly accurate. I'm a retired FAA air traffic controller. There are further safety systems in air traffic control centers and tracons that further help the humans both in the cockpit and on the ground to recognize potential conflicts.

  20. the cockpit voice says "traffic traffic climb climb" and vise versa

  31. What if TCAS on both planes says the same thing, and they both keep changing the decision at the same time. How do they know who should decide first? What if TCAS start disagreeing with us and form an army of TCAS-100's to wipe out humanity?

  32. the title of this video almost sounds like a suggestion

  33. the first syllable of 'altitude' is not pronounced the same as 'alternate'...think of it as bass, soprano, and 'alto'...; I know you are Canadian, and weird, but....give it a shot, man! :)
