Confused about ADF
I have it on good authority that Switzerland and Germany do not require the carriage of an ADF receiver for IFR alread.
I have seen a number of suggestions that the CAA are "poised" to change the position of the UK.
I dont understand how it is that different national authorities have different legislation (if this is so) and / or are seeking to change their own legislation given the intended European harmonisation. Presumably we are very close to having one single European rule, or is there a danger that we will see more national authorities filing exceptions?
If one were about to order a new aircraft the additional cost of fitting a decent ADF and DME is over £10K. I cant imagine one would be thrilled if the legislation were changed in six months or so?
