Most Aircraft i have seen equiped for NVFR have the AH in the middle of the Instrument panel where as Full IFR AH's are in a sensible place infront of the pilot enabling a natural line of sight. You just cant sensibly fly on instruments unless you have an IFR rated aircraft. Anyone out there flown aircraft with the AH in the centre of the IP like an IFR Jetranger. Is it practical for long distance????
Once again comes down to cost. Hamilton islands 430 seems to do the trick and they compete with the others in the area. Is that due to some kind of subsidy or is it a fair competative business. If so then there is your answer
if not then back to the drawing board.
Someone must have some influence on CASA to alow this to happen, if you outlaw something then there is no option than to abide. Im sure the shipping companies can afford to pay for the slight increase or they dont get into port.
Hmmm hope things change.
