unit costs
I like to think that I'm a good data-rat, but I've got a mental block trying to sort out what combination of bits will implement ADSB as suggested in the JCP and whether or not the proposed subsidy is still reasonable.
For quick rollout, the gear has to be available off the shelf now and have a publically visible price tag.
(I'll relent and allow devices that will have TSO certification very very soon. eg, within the next 3 to 6 months)
So., at one extreme is the 'VFR' option which just has a basic GPS engine (no display) and a Transponder.
In the middle would be an 'VFR' / 'IFR' option with moving map only.
At the other extreme is an 'IFR' option with moving map, terrain, ADSB-IN, WAAS etc. etc.
For the time being, lets ignore the $k for installation and testing costs.
Any helpers out there ?
