Bit 'Techo'? I know – but it's spot on.
From an associate ‘expert’ in the field:-
OK: Ok, - keep regulatory reform, keep the ASRR; keep the lot; but for crying out loud; give us logic. That mysterious quantity CASA lost, many, many moons ago.
2021 for all that makes sense; the rest - PONY-POOH.
From an associate ‘expert’ in the field:-
Quote:I have been reading the ASTRA paper on mandating ADS-B for VFR. I am surprised at the number of regulatory “misunderstandings”, ie; “Present” charter will be under CASR 121 in the future --- doesn’t ASTRA know about CASR Part 135??
There are some serious technical fubars, ie; ADS-B will make aircraft visible to TCAS ---- it will but only because there is a Mode S transponder, a Mode C transponder in an aircraft that is not fitted with TCAS 11 (a large majority of current VH- GA aircraft) produces the same functionality.
I am not aware that any of the manufacturers of TCAS have implemented the “ADS-B IN” standard, because there is no airline demand, because it produces no additionality functionality between two TCAS 11 equipped aircraft, compared to TCAS 11 without ADS-B IN.
With the complete lack of any risk analysis, the whole ASTRA paper is a nonsense, and complete lack of serious cost/benefit justification, it is even worse than the original CASA attempts at risk analysis and cost/benefit justification (first and second attempts) for the original ADS-B proposals.
OK: Ok, - keep regulatory reform, keep the ASRR; keep the lot; but for crying out loud; give us logic. That mysterious quantity CASA lost, many, many moons ago.
