But not FR24 on an iPad for ATC...
The point is not FR24. The point is there are inexpensive, readily available means to use ADS-B data to improve controller SA in low visibility conditions. But rather than use these tools, the lives of hundreds of people are put at risk while the FAA awaits a solution costing tens of millions of dollars.
Is it a perfect solution? No. Is it better than being blind? Absolutely.
