JM, run all my previous quotes if you like - they will all be consistent.

I am delighted with the decision. I have just left a briefing by Freeflight here in Cairns re updating Aussie aircraft to ADS-B.

There are some exciting products coming and rumoured - including a combination Mode S extended squitter and UAT in transponder from Garmin.

Now that we have time we can benefit from substantially lower costs and more up to date equipment.

I will now work towards the cost savings that can be gained by removing old ground based nav aids - millions will be saved by our industry as shown in the JCP. There is no need to link this with the future fitment of ADSB.
