We should harmonise with the less expensive , less complex FAA system.

That's what I intended as Chairman of CASA when the private instrument rating was introduced. It was then hijacked by idiots and now hardly anyone has an IFR rating.

And now with the rediculous expensive ADSB mandate for all IFR aircraft the number will drop even more.

Fatalities will increase just like the PMs Dad .
