Default FAA efficiency

I could pay for many movements without automation, (possibly a lifetime)
before the cost saving would be anywhere close to breaking even.


How 'bout this:

Give each aircraft owner three years' worth of that per-pilot money
the FAA is now spending to operate the national airspace, with the
requirement that we MUST use that money to add ADS-B and moving map
displays. That's $22K x 3 years, or $66,000.00.

I could put a very impressive glass cockpit in Atlas for $66K, and
I'll promise to never, ever use ATC again, except when entering Class
C or B airspace.

Do this to every aircraft in America, eliminate 75% of the ATC budget,
and in three years the FAA will be rolling in money.
