Australia seems to be completely on its own in mandating ADS-B for GA and for IFR below 10,000 ft.
WHY?
Why has CASA been so silent on the answer to this question?
As I stated earlier, I believe the answer is related to staffing levels within ASA, given that labour costs in Australia are very likely the highest in the world.
Perhaps some bean counter/bureaucrat has some incentive payments linked to his future success at reducing staff levels.
I think we would all like to see CASA give a proper explanation.
