Collision avoidance systems in light aviation - RSA's choice

3AF's Ile-de-France group invites you to watch the conference given on December 11 by Jean-Louis Abou, RSA Federation vice-president in charge of regulations.

The RSA (Réseau Sport de l'Air) brings together amateur builders, collectors and restorers of historic vintage aircraft.

This category of aircraft has a number of regulatory constraints in terms of on-board equipment: a VHF radio at 8.33 kHz pitch, which adds to budgets, and the looming obligation to equip machines with an anti-collision system. Today, there are a multitude of anti-collision systems available for general aviation. Their use has significantly reduced the number of collisions involving general aviation.

With this in mind, the RSA sought a low-cost anti-collision system for its members, capable of capturing as many installed systems as possible.

Jean-Louis Abou presented an overview of existing systems (TCAS, Mode-S, FLARM, ADS-B) and systems proposed by various equipment manufacturers (Air Avionix, U Avionix, FLARM, F.U.N.C.K.E. Avionix, LX Nav, Foreflight, FX PilotAware, Safesky,Flying Nerons). This equipment offers all or part of the functions required: detection, analysis, risk assessment and pilot alert.

In 2021, the RSA sectioned Flying Nerons' "Neurone" system, which ticks all the boxes: easy to implement, cost-effective, interoperable and portable.

The conference was organized by the Ile-de-France Group and the Light Aviation and Derivative Machines (ALMD) commission of the Association Aéronautique et Astronautique (3AF), in partnership with 3AF's "Centre" group and the Groupement des Ingénieurs et Cadres Supérieurs de l'Aviation Civile (GIACRE),
