IO540, you seem better informed than most.....
Do you have any idea when you can reclaim this tax and when not (I understand all have to pay it, some can reclaim).
Owners of diesel engine singles
Owners of diesel engine twins
Owners of turboprops
Owners of VLJ
people who hire one of the above for a family trip
people who hire one of the above for a business trip paid for by their company
people who hire one of the above for a business trip which they pay for themselves as being company owner.
You say this will kill diesel retrofit. How about the consequences for people who have a diesel as standard such as DA40 and DA42?
Has anyone made revised costs comparisons between the diesel route and avgas route? I m asking this because there was a lot of talk that diesel flying was cheaper (although this was in the opinion of some offset by the increased maintenance cost)
Thx
