... we in Australia have to be as smart or smarter than anyone overseas....
So why do Airbus and Boeing come to Australia to develop future pilot/atc integrated systems for their aircraft ?
... maybe its because we are smarter and have the only environment in the world where sophisticated integrated systems can work and be evaluated ...
Boeing wouldn't be here if they do could do the same in USA ... and Airbus wouldn't be here if they could do the same in Europe ...
... and they take what they learn here back to develop what will become international practice ...
... of course Boeing and Airbus don't make planes for GA ... so I guess they don't count and we're not really that good after all.
