The notice focuses on midair collision prevention near Charleston airport.
Years ago I was shooting the approach to CHS in IMC, and just outside the FAF, a corporate Lear Jet, before ADS-B, popped up on TCAS and commanded a TA. The Lear was scud running from Hilton Head where they missed running 1 mile and clear of clouds. Point being, CHS has had more than just this one event due to pressured corporate pilots trying to get the boss and the Royal Barge in enough time to make the tee.
How about adsb both in and out.
Even better, wasn’t available during my event.
I’ve had quite a few false ADS-B TIS-B traffic warnings on my system over the last 6 years that I’ve had it. In some cases the traffic was my own airplane that showed up as another aircraft very close by. There are also aircraft without ADS-B OUT that don’t show up on TIS-B. The point is, don’t rely on ADS-B TIS-B to show you all the aircraft near you.
That’s where the term trust but verify comes into play.
