AOPA supports ADSB, but obviously not if GA is forced (or an attempt is made to force) to fit at thier expence.

A fit of all GA a/c <5700kg would still leave AsA $50 Mil change out of the ministers directive if older 'backscatter + SSR' radar heads were used. Not to mention maintenance.

Will it do away with terminal, not for a very long time, but some research in Europe is interesting.

I do hope it is the final nail in the coffin of towers in places like Coffs and tamworth although I'd still give my right arm to be one of those 3 lucky buggars in Coffs.
