cerritos brings it all home. by 1989, all aircraft operating up to 10,000 feet within 30 miles of terminal control areas must be equipped with transponders that convey altitude information. by 1993, all commercial carrier aircraft with ten seats or more operating within u.s. air space are equipped with traffic alert and collision avoidance systems. the culmination, beginning back with flight 122, going through the psa accident and finally through the cerritos accident were all building blocks to promote this technology which evolved into the modern system of tks which is a great predictive tool. the faa had to take the bull by the horn if you will and do something it try to prevent these accidents from occurring.
