Merger with TCAS[edit]

This article should be merged with Traffic Collision Aviodance System (TCAS) since both are same.Joy1963 18:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. TCAS is a proprietary system mandated on larger aircraft. ACAS is the generic term for such systems, of which there are a substantial number.PrairieOjibway (talk) 04:19, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be no source for ACAS is the generic term for such systems, but I found many sources that contradict this view and say that TCAS is the only ACAS implementation in existence; I suggest splitting electronic conspicuity systems and ground collision avoidance systems from this article to eliminate confusion. Created a discussion about the former in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation#Electronic_conspicuity.

Airplane database[edit]

Could it be that ACAS is also a flight hours and cycles database? 172.176.243.98 18:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good Q, but no. It's collision avoidance only.PrairieOjibway (talk) 04:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too Technical[edit]

The technical jargon should probably be dialed down, something that might be easier with cited sources.

TSO AD[edit]

What, exactly, was the "flaw in the TSO" that kept it from being useful? (BTW, vote "no" to merge; ACAS is a completely diff type sys to TCAS.) TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 04:25, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Airborne collision avoidance system. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100421004027/http://www.eurocontrol.int/msa/public/standard_page/ACAS_ICAO_Provisions.html to http://www.eurocontrol.int/msa/public/standard_page/ACAS_ICAO_Provisions.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Auto-GCAS[edit]

Im surprised there is no mention of Auto-Ground Collision Avoidance Systems in this article. Is it something that has been removed previously? PrimalBlueWolf (talk) 13:22, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
