I am glad to be wrong. GNSS will be a much better and more accrate tool than the IRS sets they were using previously.

I said originally that Greg Russell had offered a solution. That was only half correct, the other half of the equation is access to a WAAS, or a GBAS. So far ASA have spent I think it was $30 million on a GBAS which was abandoned. In order to maximise to opportunities that GPS and associated tools such as ADSB offer, the second half of the problem needs to be tackled. The survey industry has had access to centimetre accurate GPS for some years, why have we made no progess in aviation?

I nominate Geoscience Australia to do it as this should be a national scheme not one owned by any specific industry.

Thanks everyone, you can go back to Qantas hating now.

Cheers
