And EASA's head stilling the sand !

The witless plebs at EASA are helping us with this problem by making it as hard as posable to help avoid these drone things with their over the top certification requirments for ADS-B, the idiots are insisting that each aircraft type has an STC written for fitment of ADS-B equipment.......So the same bit of kit in a Cessna requires a different STC from that fitted to a Piper and STC's cost about € 17 K to get approved.

The result of this is an increasing number of aircraft that have the ADS-B anti collision kit fitted but by mandate of the so called European Aviation Safety Authority they must keep this switched off !

Perhaps the head of EASA would like to tell us why he obstructing the use of ADS-B and not encouraging the use of this important safety aid ?
