Penguin. I know accuracy and tolerances are the reason for IFR aircraft needing the TSO'd units for separation purposes, but why VFR?

The ADSB out message includes data about its own reliability and accuracy SIL, etc., so why the need for a one size fits all requirement?

In addition Dynon has a unit for around $800 that meets FAA requirements.

CASA appears to deliberately ignore costs to the industry. I don't know if this is because of a RAAF / Public servant mindset or just pure envy of anyone owning an aircraft.
