Okay I'll bite. Why not?
My actual position is that I don't see any strong rational reason for the changes, certainly the reasons given are dubious. Where will the cost savings come from?
Have you been to a roadshow with John & Martha? Mike Smith skips over details like there is no tomorrow. John & Martha believe NAS will reinvigorate the GA sector. How? It presumes that airspace is what is stopping people flying now. I agree (I think) with Mr Kerans that there are many more areas to look at cost cutting to make flying more affordable and accessible.
Yes I like a security blanket. It is called alerted see and avoid and DTI when I am IFR. My paying passengers also expect it.
If that makes me a
then meeeooowwwww.
By the way I don't believe I have "attacked" anyone. I picked up Mr Kerans on a small point as he was incorrectly trying to illustrate his (otherwise good) point by using a fallacious argument about ELT's.
My final thought is if NAS is not
demonstrablysafer, cheaper and more efficient than what we have now why change it?
