Ferris,
FYI, not a Dick Smith disciple as you put it, but at this point in time I agree with Dick on two very fundamental issues:
1) Many on here are very closed minded and appear to have a very much "deer in the headlights" hatred towards anything Mr Smith posts, is it Tall Poppy Syndrome or is it hatred bourne from the NAS "event" of not long ago.
NAS is dead in the water, build a bridge, you won.
2) That a MSAW system would considerably reduce the chances of CFIT OCTA with RADAR/ADS coverage (
FYI, Pg 25,
also FYI ).
Unfortunately not all IFR aircraft has E/GPWS.
