This article in Oz Aviation today shows ASA crowing over it's SBAS trials."An Airservices Australia trial has successfully demonstrated how Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) technology enables safer and more accurate approach guidance to regional and rural aerodromes in instrument meteorological conditions.“Our participation in the SBAS trial is just one example of our collaboration with other government agencies and industry to ensure Australia is at the forefront of aviation technology,” Airservices chief executive Jason Harfield said of the series of test flights on July 12 and 13 this year."
Really. Doesn't mention the fact that SBAS has been in existence in the USA as WAAS for at least 10 years if not longer. Forefront of aviation technology? How about 10 years behind the rest of the world.
