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.

More likely a much smaller cost.

wanna bet?

Perhaps people disagree with you.

But the ADS-B requirement is achievable, it is possible to put this
type of equipment on your aircraft (I would even look forward to it),
but the border crossing requirements aren't possible to meet (unless
Mexico all of the sudden becomes a 1st world nation with telephone
systems).

More likely people don't want to read the NPRM and are unaware of the
onerous cost for no benefit.

The current Garmin unit is in the $8000-9000 range installed and may
or may not meet the requirements of the NPRM. The FAA projected cost
is around $17,000.

Personally I have no desire to pay even $1000 for something that
offers no benefit to me and for an operational concept that is flawed
and should assume Mode C transponders for GA aircraft.
