Are you able to list ANY benefits to GA operators that will occur as a
result of implementation of the current FAA ADS-B OUT NPRM?

Where's the "tremendous Benefit" for GA operators? There won't be any
ADS-B cockpit display of traffic or weather in the GA cockpit under
the NPRM.

The air carriers benefit. The FAA contractors (Boeing, LockMart,
ITT,...) benefit. There might be some benefit for ATC. But as
proposed in the NPRM, it is GA that has to spend a _LOT_ of cash to
make it happen, and I am unable to find any significant benefit for
GA.
