I am fortunate. I can easily afford the rip off repair cost.
But to kowtow to such dishonest prices means I don't care about the industry I love.
Also why shouldn't potential buyers know what will likely happen the day warranty runs out?
I would not have purchased a 109e if Agusta had told me the repair cost of the displays. This is the second display that has failed. There are four in the aircraft.
Means a small operator could be up to pay $200,000 over a period if each display failed.
The display does not have any complex mechanical parts - so where does the staggering cost come from?
Bell should not be dealing with this company. How come the Garmin overhaul cost is less than one twentieth ?
