EuroGA daily
Are we issueing a newspaper already? Don’t know if there happens so much around in GA, but EuroGA daily sounds cool 
New infringement documentary published today.
This event took place on 19 June 2020 in the vicinity of Wycombe

BTW: Can anyone think of a way of not having the logo annoyingly overlay the text when I hit “Ctrl+P” and then “save to PDF”?
I am delighted that they are still using the same Corporate BS Generator. Consistency is very important in public policy on these heinous crimes
Maybe they got the idea from EuroGA 
They also show initiative in their use of a fashionable HTML specialist
It is basically crap design which prevents a browser printing it correctly. AFAIK one needs a second set of style sheets for the printing function, and they haven’t done that. It is fashionable these days to not bother with supporting printing, and I should not complain because EuroGA doesn’t print very well either (though probably well enough to see the stuff)
The only real solution is to screenshoot each page and then combine the images into a PDF but then you get a huge PDF.
Why browsers can’t “just print exactly what they display on the page” I have no idea but it’s always been that way since the earliest Mosaic browsers. I’ve tried that CAA site from Firefox and that has different problems. Unfortunately there is nobody in the CAA whose task is to keep their website in order. For example nobody has ever bothered to put these in order, after “somebody” updated the list without even bothering to read it afterwards
This video shows that any business that relies on CAA approvals needs to be very careful what it says publicly about them
Pretty obviously this is how it works everywhere In any business where licensing by an authority is involved, the authority can exert control by denying the license, and usually they can do it without giving a reason.
The legacy of CAA’s bust-them-all policy – a lot of Mode A contacts, practically all of which will be Mode C/S boxes with ALT turned off. This one had just taken off; it is a syndicate/rental plane and it seems to be a SOP there
Only a career bureaucrat could think that heavy punishments for people using mode C/S wouldn’t possibly lead to some switching those off because they are told not to.
There are concerns in the US that the UK “ex RAF methodology” may catch on over there.
Governments are data hungry, always. Why? Because data facilitates enhanced government power over private individuals, the primarily tangible interest of government employees as the beneficiaries of that power. Ultimately it leads to more taxation, which is the most tangible form of government control over individuals. I don’t believe there are any exceptions, given enough time. It’s as sure as gravity. ADS-B OUT will inevitably lead to punitive control over behavior and in time to increased taxation, as surely as the sun rises daily.

The really interesting thing here is that the National Parks Service has installed an ADS-B receiver and sent the info to the FAA. I do wonder about the legalities of this approach. No idea about the privacy laws in Arizona (where that park is located).
The overzealous park, if I understand right, has basically been told to get stuffed.
It’s not even charted, and none of the pilots that got the nastygram were actually violating any rule.
The US also has anonymous ADS-B. Apparently some equipment will transmit it should the transponder be set to 1200. Unfortunately we don’t get to use anonymous ADS-B over here – we have only 1090ES.
