Sunfish,
You know why!! We are always the world's first?? world's best ??
Even this newfound enthusiasm for SBAS/WAAS is being "hailed", in several Government press releases, as a "world first".
Self-delusion on a grand scale.
And the sad fact is that not only is the Australian aviation industry (all of it, not just GA) commercially debilitated, but despite delusional claims to the contrary, as a result we have an inferior air safety outcome, compared to the USA.
Clearly, a Lose/Lose/Lose outcome, but it does add to our GNS** score.
Tootle pip!!
