So despite the savings, from a personal perspective I cannot thank you for removing the option of FULL SAR.
Eurofox, there’s nothing stopping you using VFR flight following, I’ve never been refused it. These days a family member can follow you’re flight on OzRunways or similar also. I for one don’t miss the previous rigmarole at all.
