Jeta108,
Statistically there is no measurable risk of mid air collision in class G airspace
How does 46 actual fatalites in 42 years ( 1.095 actual fatalities year ) constitute "no measurable", how many hundreds of near misses does that cover ?.
How many of those fatalities were is A,C or D Class airspace.
Is a mid air collision at a non controlled aerodrome other than GAAP counted as Class G airspace ?, perhaps the data you're looking at is presented in such a way to suggest an agenda on the author behalf ?, 98.7% of statistic are BS,,,,
.
Avoidance of mid air collisions is only one very small function of what ADSB is to achieve, TCAS alone will provide a better product, but this would leave a vast majourity of Class G a non "serviced area".
Picture this,
* flying along in your Bonanza VFR at A065 overhead Burketown QLD with TCAS, Metro/SAAB inbound to Burketown, TCAS works a treat,
you see them on your MFD., FW/Centre have no idea you are there, but hopefully everyone has their transponders on.
or
* same scenario but with ADSB instead, you are
identified and
passed as traffic to the inbound Metro/SAAB, an
ATCO and TAAATS works their magic all is well.
Safe or more safe, it's really not that hard to see, is it ?.
I agree with your statement about Politician, but this is not the arguement.
