You are correct. I should have kept my ndb approach rating current!
I am sure you agree that it will depend on a proper and honest cost benefit study.
But I wonder if the $150 million was spent on subsidising the flying and LAME training industry if we would get greater long term safety results?
The best expert I know is Ian Mallet. I talk to him regularly and respect his advice.
He hasn’t yet got the cost benefit figures for the whole of our country. Do you?
