Also:-
Previous to yesterday the requirement was to check the download at the end of the flight and if the MOD45 acquisition was below the limits and no significant upward trend was noted the aircraft could go for another 3 hrs. This was reasonably fine for people who do a lot of straight and level with lots of acquisitions. However it didn’t cater for the people with a low number of acquisitions, the change is to tighten up on the foreseeable possibilities of operation.
So its taken a month to figure this out? EC on the ball.
