Why are people ignoring the ADS-B Out NPRM?

Official link: http://tinyurl.com/2raefd

My analysis: http://tinyurl.com/2wem8j

This NPRM will mandate aircraft avionics that in my opinion offers
little to no benefit to the GA pilot, no safety improvement, may help
the airlines (not proven) and may only help the FAA save money.

And for all this each GA aircraft will incur a huge cost (impossible
to accurately quanitify but possibly in the $9000 - $17000 range).

Read my analysis then the NPRM and submit your comments.

Presumably due to the dearth of comments that have been submitted.
Have you visited the docket comment web site?

Larry got it. Visit the comments section and it is distressingly void
of comments compared to the rule about electronic filing of info
before re-entering the USA.

Which is kind of strange because the ADS-B requirements are going to effect
a lot pilots than the trans-national reporting requirements.

Because, I have visited the comment web site, and found a total of 58
comments submitted in response to this NPRM. It's just a guess.

Oh well...

Especially considering in Britain we got well over 3,000 comments to the
CAA trying to force us all to have Mode-S in *all* airspace (including
Class G, which is the majority of our airspace - usually going up to
18000 ft.)

Maybe people just don't believe protesting will make any difference.
What ever happened to the thing on the DC FRZ and ADIZ? Last I saw
we're still saddled with it (albeit in a cosmetically altered form)
despite thousands of comments.

Perhaps people disagree with you.

More likely a much smaller cost.
