Spend $200 Million for a new airplane, but not $200.1 Million for one with the latest and greatest Wx Radar. .
Is that aimed at Air France ? Do you know something that we don't ?
And, Multiscan radar is not the panacea that you seem to believe. I often had a much better picture scanning manually, playing with gain when needed. The reason appears to be that auto scan mode systematically uses ground clutter suppression (GCS). GCS is effective, but it also supresses a lot of real weather returns.
