Do I sense a highly successful monopolistic business plan?
$300 million and 26 years of regulatory reform, still far from finished, intended to generate perpetual income for services that are of no benefit to it's captive "clients"?
$140 per hour for a CASA FOI, theoretical gross annual income $241,920? I'm yet to find a CASA FOI that could earn one third of that as a commercial pilot.
I agree with Dick. His aircraft came from the manufacturer RNP certified - it doesn't get better than that. He wasted $4,000 for what gain or safety benefit?
Whether or not he can personally afford to waste that amount of money is entirely and totally irrelevant.
