Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS)

Integration with transponder responses I was referring to this:

if aircraft TCAS displays would see other aircraft since as stated on airport diagrams is a callout notifying aircraft to keep transponders on during taxiing.

 

I would be nice to have it combined into an integrated display.

Can confirm that this is an excellent utility. I use it all the time now. I only wish it included taxiway naming and distance to taxiways per the real RAAS, But, it's freeware and excellent too. Thanks much to the author.

The only glitch is the lady sometimes ticks me off in surprising situations.

For instance I am peacefully taxing and suddenly she shouts 'On the taxiway! On the taxiway!'

Or recently I was overflying and airport (at flight level) and heard 'Approaching runway 35 left!'

Other than that, I love this addon too.
