James you primarily support the views of the Canberra bureaucracy- why is that?
Pardon? I think you mean I don't support YOUR views.
My view is simple - ADS-B is the way of the future, the JCP provides ADS-B and for IFR TSO 146, both subsidised, and the ADS-B project as I know it
today offers significant safety and economy benefits for aviation from GA to RPT.
On the other hand you require the radars to be kept for 5 years which turns OFF the ADS-B / TSO 146 subsidy until 2028 and leaves the emphasis with ATC to carry the can in the future plus denying aviation the benefits of ADS-B and denying many IFR owners the benefits of subsidised TSO 146 navigators.
If you call my view "the views of the Canberra bureaucracy" and imply there is something wrong with that, then I believe you are putting your NAS drive for ATC hand holding ahead of reality.
Should I add that you are lucky to get a response from me - I was going to ignore you because you put your own name to your post
