Given that "my" C680 is just 2 years older and the 300 has been around roughly as long as the C680, I īd say yes, it should be exempted as well. Now I donīt know wether the EC has had direct discussions with either Collins for the 300 and/or Honeywell for our kite, but the EASA/Eurocontrol approach is, that privately operated older aircraft donīt fly that much and thus the expense for the operator wouldnīt be warranted. (I personally have my doubts that CPDLC will bring a real benefit in capacity...) Weīll have to wait until the EC has decided though.
