• Sceptical to changes from a flight safety perspective

• Accepts and handles, but dislikes high workload

• Eager to recieve traffic information• Accepts and likes responsibility• Keen to optimize and perfect his flight• Loves new technical gadgets and ”toys”

ObservationsObservations

• Pilots tend to be sceptical about ASAS before they know anything about it.

• As their knowledge about ASAS increase they go from acceptance to demand for it.

• With the right tools a pilot is in a superior position to control his flight relative to other aircraft.

A philosophical reflectionA philosophical reflection

• In the beginning there was only VMC flights with visual separation

• As IMC flights emerged ATC had to be invented. A paradigm shift occurred

• Technology back then could only cater for a ground based centralized system. Otherwise ATC would probably have been airborne and distributed

• That ground based centralized system is approaching its limit of development and capability.

• ASAS is the promise of the next paradigm shift that will enhance safety and capacity by magnitudes.
