Here we go again Ozbus. Dealing with the flat earthers yet again. Mind you FB is an AGW non-believer so he cant be all bad!
WAAS is the what Australia should be adopting for all those reasons and more.
As you point out ILS approaches with a fraction of the cost, increased safety by a significant level and reduced operating costs for Business. How many RPT/RFDS/Charter flights have had to conduct a missed approach and or divert due minima's that would otherwise have been acheivable in safety with WAAS. I would imagine the cost to industry would be massive. Has anyone ever done any figures on that alone?
Not to mention accident prevention. There is a major leap forward available in navigation safety on the market and many installed, all its waiting for is the signal.
Where is Chimbu Chuck?? ...... he has a very sensible grass roots opinion on matters like this.
I bet anyone a carton of expensive beer I know what he would say!
