Australia’s ForG is patently clearly safer than E.

All VFR aircraft in E must have a serviceable transponder and VHF monitoring (and - for the Cap’n - capable of two way comms on) the Centre frequency.

Not all VFR aircraft in ForG have to have a serviceable transponder and VHF.

LeP: You’re not impartial either. You make your living out of scaring people with your “swoosh swoosh”ing.

I do hope the strength of your convictions is such that you’d never travel as a passenger on a commercial aircraft in the USA, and that you’re constantly urging your family and friends never to do so either.

Australia can get on with regulating to a risk-free aviation Nirvana.
