No , not per aircraft! The CASA RIS claims the cost will be $19.9m for the 182 aircraft effected however industry estimates are twice this. For example the CASA figures average out at $60k per aircraft however the Collins estimate for my CJ is over $100k US and my aircraft is only 3 years old!

And the industry will have to pay the cost of the radar replacement decision so it is a double cost whammy.

Ha HA But they deserve it as just about everything I did to urge caution was undermined by cowards on this site!

Less and less jobs for the Professionals
