I ask everyone to look at my first post again. The Airservices ADSB project is clearly another Seasprite in the making -but with a far greater downside.

I have just read again the Transports Dept, "JCP" on this proposal. It's undoubtly one of the most dishonest missives from a Government Department of all times.

Look at the way it just spruiks the positives without mentioning the downsides.

There is no way I and others will allow the removal of the en-route SSR network until the ADSB system is totally operational and proven.This will then throw the "subsidy" figures on the scrap heap!

They won't take any notice of us? Don't you believe it -watch the media.

And despite misleading statements from others, the FAA is keeping all SSR's to provide a service above FL180 after their planned ADSB introduction date of 2020.
