“To imagine that someone would use an ADS-B receiver, look up the details on G-INFO and build a pattern of movements in order to decide when to break into a house is quite fantastical!”

I agree – it is quite farcical that anyone with an ADS-B receiver would see any of us, as it is, currently, practically illegal to emit ADS-B in the UK from a typical “GA” aircraft. But all pilots must know that, right!

Since the war there has not been one person killed due to infringements, but we have killed over 150 people due to collisions OCAS. If we can get ADS-B “allowed” then we can save some lives. Probably have very low impact on infringements as all ADS-B out comes from mode s transponders using ES so would be visible to ATC anyway.
