O Mistério dos 3 Metros: O Acidente que criou o TCAS

The Mystery of the 3 Meters: The Accident that Created TCAS | EP. 1436 - Just three meters were enough to prevent this tragedy from ever happening. In 1971, Hughes Airwest Flight 706 and a Marine F-4 Phantom fighter jet collided over California. On one side, veterans with 32,000 flight hours; on the other, a fighter jet "invisible" to radar. In today's video, we'll understand how the failure of basic systems, such as the transponder and oxygen, sealed the fate of 50 people and why the "see and avoid" concept proved insufficient for the jet age.
