Electronic conspicuity
I've noticed there appears to be no article about electronic conspicuity. Airborne collision avoidance system confusingly lists some of them (confusingly because ACAS itself is a specific type of EC system - https://www.eurocontrol.int/system/acas - which refers to the same system known as TCAS).
The term appears to be mostly used by UK CAA and EASA.
Is it possible that the article exists under some other term I'm not aware of? There seems to be Category:Aircraft collision avoidance systems, but no article.

The closest page is probably Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast which is a specific type of "Electronic Conspicuity". Scare Quotes as, speaking as a pilot and flight instructor, I've never heard the phrase before today. ADS-B is a specific technology though, while your links appear to describe the class of all electronic aids to conspicuity.
Between TCAS, ADS-B OUT, and primary radar, that basically covers the range of current technologies for "EC".
I guess I'd start wondering whether it meets the criteria for a new article - is it WP:N, WP:V, to start with.
It's a rapidly advancing field, driven in large part by the mass deployment of drones into airspace shared with aircraft. Technology and terminology is working to catch up. PrimalBlueWolf (talk) 01:28, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- I notice that all the sources for "electronic conspicuity" are British, hence this may be a British English term for something known by a different name on my side of the pond. @Ahunt: have you heard anything about this term? BilCat (talk) 02:01, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- I agree, the term is not used often in North America. This British CAA item pretty much covers the subject. The last section "What is Electronic Conspicuity?" gives an overview. - Ahunt (talk) 02:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Is there an American term that covers ADS-B/ACAS/FLARM/etc? PaulT2022 (talk) 07:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- I am not aware of any similar blanket term here. - Ahunt (talk) 13:12, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Up until very recently, we haven't really needed a blanket term for them. ADS-B is still being introduced and many aircraft don't have it. TCAS is pretty much airlines only. I'm suspecting that an Electronic Conspicuity article might be too soon. PrimalBlueWolf (talk) 02:37, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- Many thanks everyone for the feedback. I've removed split template and instead added sections to Airborne collision avoidance system to eliminate confusion between ACAS and other CASs, as well as added a brief passing mention of the EC term. PaulT2022 (talk) 04:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Notification of nomination for deletion of 2022 Longmont mid-air collision
This is to inform the members of this Wikiproject, within the scope of which this article falls, that this article has been nominated for deletion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2022 Longmont mid-air collision. - Ahunt (talk) 00:12, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Merger proposal - Discussion at Talk:Advanced Landing Ground - Merge Advanced Landing Ground in Advance airfield
I propose merging Advanced Landing Ground into Advance airfield. I think the content in Advanced Landing Ground can easily be explained in the context of Advance airfield, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Advanced Landing Ground. 
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Advanced Landing Ground.

Concensus on stating / removing routes between the EU and Russia
Hello everybody, I've noted that there are ongoing edit wars regarding the removal of routes between Russia and the EU the reason being their full suspension due to EU sanctions since March 2022. Now there seems to be no concensus how to handle this and the content is currently inconsistent:
1) some of the routes have been removed entirely (e. g. after Aeroflot publicly stating to not expect their resumption anytime soon)
2) some are still stated as operating (which is the worst of the three possibilites in my opinion) and
3) some are still stated with a "(suspended)" remark.
For the sake of consistency would it be possible to reach a concensus here how to display these? The same applies somewhat for routes to Ukraine which have been suspended as well. Best regards. 2001:A61:105E:1201:D22:CF02:5A08:5329 (talk) 09:08, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
Questionable sources
We have a growing list of questionable (i.e. unreliable) sources for aviation on our Resources page, at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Aviation/Resources#Questionable sources. I have posted an update on the state of play and would appreciate any help in purging the remaining cites. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:57, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Requested move
There is a move request at Talk:Shahed 149 Gaza#Requested move 4 October 2022. - ZLEA T\ 14:04, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Lists of aircraft
A row has erupted over our list formats, specifically what to include in each list. There is a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Aircraft#Lists of aircraft which needs more contributions to make the WikiProject's position clear and assess some proposed changes that would affect many of our lists. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:52, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- There is no 'row over list formats'. Instead there is a row over whether WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NPOV apply when describing a non-flying machine (per mainstream RS) that pre-dates the Wright brothers as a 'flying car'. AndyTheGrump (talk)

- See also the discussion at WP:FTN, where "There is no policy that forbids it" has seriously been offered as an argument for including such policy-violating nonsense. And see here for what the motivation for it appears to be. Abuse of Misplaced Pages to promote a fringe perspective rejected by mainstream historians. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:42, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
