NAS is about removal of DTI (see other NAS threads). NAS does indeed intend to disenfranchise VFR pilots from the system. It's a whole philosophical shift away from FS, radio alerted see and avoid etc. (it's not so much that the ATCs don't want to have to talk to VFRs, it's a matter of if VFRs are talking to ATC, they need a lot more ATCs than what they would like).
Money, gents, it's all about money. If it was about safety, don't you think they would wait until ADS-B was available, then fit it free?
Bush Pelican- not cynical about airspace reform, are you?
