I'll say it again. Go and ask the thousands (probably hundreds of) GA pilots if they want to fork out thousands of $$ for ADS-B In for collision avoidance. And not only that, there is the ongoing compliance...
And I'll say it again, what are the movement statistics? Of course a midair is bad, but relative to the total movements...
I suggest you remember what this whole shemozzle was caused by: somebody thought it was a good idea to allow an army chopper, at night, using visual separation, through a very busy airline landing corridor. That's no reason to extrapolate that into every corner of aviation. There were 20,000 car deaths in Europe last year, but I don't see draconian measures being placed on drivers or cars.
as you appear to be right on top of this prang. What would you expect to come out of a TRB enquiry that hasn't already been fleshed out?
