Many pilots, if they have heard about ADS-B, think that it means free
weather.

IT DOES NOT

This proposal will mandate potentially costly avionics that in my
analysis provide little or nothing to the GA pilot. You will still
have to keep your Mode C transponder.

You won't get free weather.

You won't get traffic alerts in your cockpit.

You only get to pay thousands (TBD but possibly over $7000 per plane)
for something that only helps the airlines.

My analysis (which is still in work and may not be done until November
or later) is he

My suggestion is that you read what I have written then read the NPRM.
If you agree with my analysis, please reply to the FAA and AOPA. You
may use any or all of my reply but I strongly suggest changing it to
reflect your views (possibly shorter).
