CAA Major Mod - Ferry Tank
Hi all,
We're trying to fit a rather large ferry tank to a C182Q. This exact thing is done all the time in the US, and has been for the last 40+ years. It costs a few thousand bucks.
The few quotes we've been able to get from UK engineering companies are in the region of £25,000. A mere 10+ times the US cost; I know flying is different here and there, but that really just takes the p***.
Does anyone know of a way of getting our pathetic aviation authority into the 21st century with regard to something like this - or a less bone-headed European country who could do the work?
If not, we'll stick it on the N-Reg, and the cash-grabbing CAA will get precisely nothing.
