So, CAT use class G, but can't see us because they are fast and have small windows.... they want US (i.e. light aircraft/gliders etc) to pay for equipment so they can see us! Well this is a fair deal isn't it? I mean, what benefit does this give us?.. What are they doing there in the first place?
Can't really imagine how fitting a mode S transponder and using Farnborough LARS on a sunny day (where you're lucky to even to get in for a FIS let alone a RIS!) is going to help me whatsoever.
If the CATs want more space, they should be paying for it... The rest of us can work perfectly adequately in class G, thankyou very much!
So, we are forced to fit mode-S... Cool... so that means you can see us all, as 1million dots on your screen... so we should be able to reduce the amount of CAS then?... afterall the world is at your fingertips, right?
