james michael;
So?... Does your gadget you found in a comic book meet TSO C145(a) or TSO C146(a) standard? (I understand 145 is the chip and 146 is the chip and motherboard. The chip having a problem with availability).
Open my mind! Why don't you ask yourself what will happen if the subsidy does not materialise. You and "your team" whoever they are, support without question the mandate of the equipment.
It amazes me (If you are who I believe you are), that you are such an expert as a private VFR day non owner pilot.
Also, talking about "outing" posters, please explain the genesis if xinhua2 for me.
