The pilots do every bit of controlling thats done
Funny, I recollect a lot of debate by a certain team re the Benalla TNP matter where ATC should have saved the day. At least be consistent.

Oh, somebody remind me - will these ADS-B units work Oz wide to ground level ?
Answer - yes. ADS-B OUT does not need a ground repeater to provide IN to another aircraft. Actually allows "The pilots do every bit of controlling thats done" to become true.

SDD, LHR, OZ

Eloquently put and well put. ADS-B alone is not the answer, ADS-B added to existing threat resolvers (eg the see and be seen big sky theory) is yet another level of safety that does not require third party surveillance.

From memory a certain person was going to stop the low level mandate. Let's hope aviation safety is not compromised by ego tripping.
