If you want a scenario that will put an end to flying as we know it, it
would be a mid-air between a non-radio equipped GA aircraft and a
passenger jet, where the subsequent investigation uncovers a series of
internet postings by the GA pilot railing against the government's right
to force him to spend $200 on a hand-held radio.


So, a regulation mandating a radio trumps the regulation to see and avoid?

And, after instituting said regulation, and midairs still occur, what is
the next "fix"?


I haven't read all forty some odd posts, but (if nobody did already)
I would like to point out that radios are already pretty much mandated
by regulation.........Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D
Airspaces........Wouldn't take much for the feds to expand that the
rest of the way....
