OK, you don't like the colour scheme, but your hobby shouldn't be so destructive/dismissive of positive developments for safety in GA.
peace, move on and grow.
I've not been here for a few years, a la Kennedy Steve: 'C'YA'
I was referring only to the introduction of a different airfield colour state system compared to the one which already exists in the UK; the other features of Pilotaware are of no concern to me personally, however what should be of some concern is the amount of information fed to the pilot via Pilotaware; some pilots might concentrate on this and forget to look out of the window and thus not see an aircraft approaching which is not emitting any type of ellectronic conspicuity.
