Why then poo poo ADSB purely on the basis of not receiving a subsidy ?, that said I hope the subsidy does materialise.
Whether ADSB is a good system for Australian Aviation has little to do the perceived cost of installation, TSO GPS installation cost more than ADSB, many have embraced TSO GPS as the benefits outweigh the expense.
Is ADSB irrespective of any or no subsidy a good choice for Australia ?, I believe so, since obtaining my CPL pretty much all my flying has been in rural/designated remote area's, Mostly VHF coverage, occasionaly with good HF coverage and very very little RADAR, ADSB will make working in the bush safer.
I see no benefit from ground based stations being TSO'd, let alone the TSO'ing of aircraft ADSB equipment, in doing so considerably reducing the cost ?, thoughts ?.
