Jet aircraft frequently operate at local airfields without radar or ATC.

While most light aircraft in Europe already have FLARM, jet aircraft rely on TCAS and transponders
for collision avoidance. Jets also fly at higher speeds than light aircraft, making early detection and identification necessary.
