ADS-B for GA in Europe?
Hi,
Can anyone enlighten me on whether we shall see ADS-B being taken up by GA, especially the light end, in Europe in the forseeable future?
In the US, it seems to be being touted as the solution to a series of potential ills for GA pilots (navigation, collision avoidance, comms in remote areas, distress calls, infringement avoidance) with wonderful portable tablet or fixed unit displays.
Is it really such a silver bullet?
In the US, there appears to be an infrastructure already being built for all to use. Any sign of this on the cards for Europe?
And devices for the US seem to be retailing in the high single digit $1000's, so does this mean substantially more in Europe? And hence likely out of reach for many GA's?
What are the technical considerations and the likely evolution? Are the devices going to be feasible to install in light GA (SEP's or lighter)?
Appreciate any info.
All the best,
BFA
