Just read this report, couldn't see another thread on here.
What surprises me from reading this article is where it states from the report that... "when the aircraft came close, the Turkish flight crew had not "followed the commands" of three on-board collision-avoidance warnings".
Is that because they could see the Citation ? thus you can ignore the warnings.

Why wouldn't the TK crew follow the TCAS command? Sounds like multiple human errors coincided here.

Quoting DocLightning (Reply 1): Why wouldn't the TK crew follow the TCAS command? Sounds like multiple human errors coincided here.
Certainly agree there was apparent human error with the Control Tower not picking up on getting the wrong altitude acknowledgement, But regarding the flight crew and their choice to ignore the TCAS due to their visual contact with the other aircraft.. is it normal to choose not to act on the systems collision avoidance commands if you have visual?

Dangerous! I've watched the Heathrow inbounds at 4000ft over the City departures at 3000 ft many times. Indeed there was an Air Canada flight did this in the same place recently as well. The truth is that London City is in a pretty bad place as far as the Heathrow inbounds are concerned. If these two had hit the death toll would have been enormous on the ground as well, pretty much over the Olympic site. It's not as if this is the first time. I can't believe the Citation didn't have TCAS. I am genuinely annoyed at this, as last week flying into Heathrow I watched a Citation zoom beneath us at what I assume was the correct level in that exact area.

Quoting BMIFlyer (Reply 4): Same here, I assumed TCAS was mandatory now on all jet aircraft or am I wrong?
As i understand it and from what ive read today, under international aviation safety rules all jets weighing more than 5.7 tonnes must have TCAS. Very Light Jets (VLJs) typically weigh less than 4 tonnes and are therefore exempt.
I find this odd however, what has weight got to do with anything in this case of safety?..

I don't believe it, the Daily Mail has managed to publish a story without the wrong pictures and hyping it to be more than it was.

I found it odd that only last week, i was returning from Palma (PMI) to East Mids (EMA) and we started our decent over the English channel, then oddly zig zagged across London with quite a reduction in speed, clearly seeing the O2 Staduim just to our right, we then banked left before a final bank right to head Northbound. Difficult to say accurately but I guess we were still in the 20k feet zone at that point, but why we needed the speed reduction so much and, why we didnt simply go West of London and stay well clear beats me.
