Am aware of that James, however it should be for ALL aircraft, not just those who operate above FL290.

What's the cost of buying/fitting an ABS-B unit Mick? Is it cost prohibitive for the industry as a whole?

Not exactly sure Nige, without doing any extensive research.
However..... the cost of installing 1 RADAR site, is said to be roughly the same cost as installing ADS-B receivers to cover the entire country. So, while an ADS-B transponder may be more expensive than a normal transponder, the cost to the industry in terms of airservices charges, should be less. Whether or not ASA lower their fee's if they were to go entirely to ADS-B...... that remains to be seen. Unlikely. So overall, probably more expensive Nige. The benefits to the area's outside current RADAR coverage are immense though. I went out to Blackall today in Western QLD. I was identified only a few minutes after take off once I was high enough to be line of site to Longreach. Reduced seperation would make things a lot easier on some of the higher traffic routes, rather than being held down because of the large seperation requirements for procedural airspace. Mick |
