The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is now in the final development stages. Several airlines have agreed to use the equipment in cooperation with the FAA in the real airline environment. This final phase, scheduled to begin in 1985, should finalize operational procedures and ATC coordination. The production equipment then will follow on for fleet retrofit. This sequence of events had been very different than some of the preceding avionics retrofit programs. Weather Radar, for example, was primarily an effort by one vendor and one airline for evaluation. The ATCRBS, Transponder System, became a reality because of Air Traffic Control pressure. The Ground Proximity Warning System was pressed into service without the benefit of real time evaluation in an airline environment. Follow-on modifications, however, did produce an ecceptable system. Because of some of these previous problems and the economic pressure, most airline management teams initially were not overly enthused about TCAS and its predecessor BCAS.
