You cant please all the people all of the time, so I say any proposals should be put forward, and yes some wont like it.

I think that whoever it was (the big Q and others) that wanted to ditch ADSB subsidy is a bit naive. Many on here have said you think safety is expensive.........

I do think we should work towards 100% ADSB and mode C transponders, and yes even a crop duster, because I am sure at say .....Moree, St George or similar places, they operate right up to the airport boundaries, and at times fly in and out of these airports.

Some could argue that their Drifter thats only ever flown over their own cattle station is not a risk, and thats true, but how do you keep them their? they can fly them anywhere, so you rely on folk doing the right thing if you make exemptions.

Myself I am in favor of everyone having the gear AND doing the right thing.

Have a good weekend evryone!
