Hmmm...we now have some outlines to work with ...interesting just where the majority of mid-airs happen.

TAS is a dangerous distraction
Scurvy.D.Dog, from my experience, and watching pilot pax focus on it in the GAAP circuit - yes.

I would be interested to see what studys have been done on ADS-B 'IN' in the GAAP (or simular) VFR environment - will it kill pilots ? Obviously not relavent if theres only 'out' for VFR - but then is the history of VFR mid-airs relavent to the discusion ?


...and I'm not foregetting this is all a side show to me - when terrorists start putting $1,000 GPS guided flying bombs into a WAAS assisted 1.5 metre diameter target - we'll see how long a GPS based ADS-B system lasts ...of course OZBUSDRIVER doesnt think it is possible, a sparrow would'nt get thru, eh
