AMATs. And NAS both clearly showed a separate VHF Flightwatch system as per leading aviation countries. The cost is neglible .
Yes. I removed the duplicated Full Position flight service system as it was extremely costly and unique in the world.
The plan was to have a single system operated by ATCs with a minimum of class E in terminal areas where traffic densities required.
Never happened because of ignorant resistance to change.
Now we are going to lead the world with the most expensive ADSB mandates in the world for all IFR aircraft but not even provide a class E separation service at busy non tower airports.
It's madness!
