So, will the NASIG actually listen to the industry now - or is everybody else still luddites/scaremongers/unionists/paranoid/fearful of change/protecting their jobs/trying to keep recreational pilots out of the air/wrong?

PE Persawat: Pre Nov27, the TB10 would have required a clearance to enter Class C, and would have been in contact with ATC and under their control (unless it was a VCA - but that's another story).

Point is - the new system allowed a 'radio silent' aircraft to share the same airspace as high speed jet aircraft - unannounced and unseen (except by TCAS).

By all accounts, the TB10 pilot was doing what he was supposed to do as per crap procedures.

Please do not make broadcast transmissions or engage in chatter on an ATC frequency. The safety of others depends on you not doing this
Great, just GREAT!
