Morno, Qantas has had HUD's fitted to B737's since 2002. The fact that it's taken 14 years to get some advances in instrument approaches approved by CASA indicates that QF has no control or influence over them. How many QF people have been appointed to run CASA? Generally, it's ex CX or RAAF and in doing that, they are ensuing that they are not being influenced by an airline.
The GBAS facility that has been fitted at Sydney airport was only done as a result of research by QF technical people and urging CASA & Air Services to get with this technology. It will be useful for all operators at all airports in the Sydney basin so it's a win for everyone.
