Hang on a sec, what does ADS-B have to do with flying a DME/GNSS arrival? I have nothing against ADS-B and yes we should stop being a backwater country irt its implementation...but....whether Dick and ATC had access to a full ADS-B service is irrelevant to the 'woe is me' line Dick has chosen to report.
With or without ADS-B the following occurred and has no relevance to the use of ADS-B;
1. Dick chose to fly a DGA
2. If you consider this a higher workload approach, then Dick also chose to increase his workload.
3. Dick also (if reported correctly) chose to fly the 'dive and drive' method, rather than try to fly a stabilised approach as published on the chart.
How would any of this change if ADS-B had been in use? And what would he have preferred to have done in leui?
Why did he choose to decrease the level of safety for his passengers?
