It’s interesting to see how the military people in Airservices look after their own. Yes, you’ve got it – they are allowing all military aircraft to operate in all the airspace without ADS-B – no requirement at all. It appears the military pointed out that it would be quite expensive to fit their aircraft so, “no problems! You’ll be able to fly without ADS-B – you’re our mates!”.

Also interesting to note that airlines will be allowed to operate for up to three days with the ADS-B equipment not operating. That means Airservices is happy to procedurally separate their aircraft for up to three days but not procedurally separate a business aviation aircraft for ten minutes. The hypocrisy of these people in Airservices is amazing, isn’t it!
