Mode S - Again
Well I understand the current position is that GA will require to have a mode S transponder fitted for IFR flights through controlled airspace from March next year.
I was therefore surprised to learn from I think a well informed supplier that there is not a single control zone equipped to interrogate mode S at the moment or likely to be by March next year. Is this really so?
If it is, why do we allow the regulators to badger us in to replacing expensive equipment to find either the dates slips further or having fitted the unit in fact no one in the UK is able to interrogate it.
