"All commercial aircraft have a system called TCAS which stands for traffic collision avoidance system which is supposed to warn the pilot of an aircraft that is to close."

But by design, the TCAS system does not generate any warnings once an aircraft is below 1000'.

I also noticed no wake turbulence warning to the Blackhawk cutting into a hefty wake turbulence path of flight from ATC or Tower. That is very standard stuff in low and slow flight arrivals, calling out traffic hazards.

TCAS will not generate a resolution below 1000 gal, however the traffic is still displayed with relative altitude.
