Thanks Dirty Pierre,
So if the ADS-B system is better than radar and bucket loads cheaper, then why haven't Airservices jumped up and down and said that we'll install ADS-B instead of the radar heads and everyone will be happy. That way we can get E above D surely.
Oh wait a minute, Airservices will probably want someone else to pay for the ADS-B installation??? End user or Defence maybe???
National security possibly. I don't care if Defence pays for it as long as the struggling GA operator doesn't have to. I can't think of a single GA operator in Aus that made the same multi-million dollar profit that AsA made last year.
I'm NOT having a go at ATC by the way. Bean counters get on my nerves, that's all.
