bdionu:
What tax? Huge taxes on car fuel, zero tax on aviation fuel in UK. BD
Incorrect statement. AVGAS, as used by a large proportion of smaller GA, i.e. those not being directly charged for en route navigational services, does carry a high tax levy, very similar to car fuel.
Different subject; If VORs are to be officially decomissioned, along with NDBs, does this imply an acceptance by the CAA of the only alternative type of primary navigation equipment, namely GPS? It appears it must.
But then....how are we to fly an IRT with no beacons?
Edit: Oh, I see that during my phone call from my boss - someone else already mentioned tax.
