anyone using surecheck\'s TPAS?
I was going to ask this anyways, but this 2nd fatal midair accident in the area I am flying scares me even more.
Those who fly S FL know that the Coral Springs and the North Perry training areas equal to Zoo around 8-12AM and later in the afternoon. Midair here is my #1 safety concern.
I am thinking to buy this TPAS since it seems I can carry it from one airplane to the next and it can be bought for $4-500. Since I am flying in the mode C veil most the time it should give me alert for I would say 90% of the traffic. Of course scanning is still important although I think scanning alone is simply bull. You may detect 30% but you wont ever see the guy below you climbing or above you descending etc...
Anyways back to TPAS. The questions are:
Is it worth? Anyone using it? Please post your opinions.
Thanks!
