Surely that crash showed the "limitations of see and avoid" as per ATSB?
Unless both aircraft were fitted with some kind of
ACAS/TCAS (which usually doesn't rely on ADS-B anyway) or the pilots were using aural alerts on an EFB of some sort (Foreflight, etc.), I don't see what relevance ADS-B IN would have in prevention of that accident. Whilst flying VFR, it's important to keep eyes
outside to maintain situational awareness - not stare at a screen and hope for the best.
There are bound to be recommendations for better SA coming out of that accident, and it will be interesting to see what those are.
