I attended a seminar on infringements given by Jonathan Smith from NATS where I first heard of the Aware initiative. He is as I understand it also a regular PPL flyer with his own aircraft and is the or one of the prime movers behind the Aware. He mentioned that the successful efforts of others to '...

From another perspective this device sets a new value for money standard for GPS navigation. I think we should remember this is onl...
