ADS-B IN works anywhere and accidents happen anywhere. Particularly in non-radar environments.
james michael, re the mid-airs in Oz. Of the ones that ATSB (and predecessors) have finnished with - please piont out the ones that the current ADS-B proposal may have stopped.
If the gov-mint has 15K to spare - perhaps the fitment of an autopilot to those without will save more lives then yet another transponder.....remember, we already have TCAS, TAS, etc and transponders.
