Can we not make it a part of the legislation that in future the equipment being used and relied on, and especially at night-time, must include all obstacles? Surely it is the most basic thing for any safety organisation to ensure that obstructions are highlighted on a map and that those obstacles are included in all equipment being relied upon. If that means having to negotiate, navigate and input more data, then so be it. People have lost their lives because their equipment did not warn them of obstacles that were there and that it should have warned them about.
