The " I support ADSB" thread.
A statement;
I strongly support the ADSB concept as a natural evolution of radar. Always have, and always will. I think it could be a valuable ATC tool in contemporary areas of debate such as Benalla.
I believe it should enhance safety in high traffic areas such as the "J' curve, indeed, anywhere a transponder is required.
I am unaware of any current move to have non TSO'd equipment approved for use where ADSB is mandated. Similarly I am unaware of any proposed subsidy schemes that may make any future mandated equipment affordable to an already financially stretched aviation industry.
Let me be very clear, I am not anti ADSB, nor is anybody within the industry that I have regular contact with.
People making these claims appear to be trying to focus attention in the wrong direction.
