If public opinion is swayed because of an accident (and the usual media frenzy), it will undoubtedly mean less freedom for aviation in Class G.
And this is the problem. There is an implicit assumption that the light aircraft or glider is automatically at fault. The CAA have used this argument in many meetings with GA reps regarding fitting and using Mode S. Yet there are certainly incidents between commercial jets in the airways not involving light aircraft, so technology is not foolproof, is it?
