$16,000.00 per aircraft?
Oz,
I will ask, but I believe the aircraft already had a C145 or 146 source available. They were identical aeroplanes, this should have minimized the costs of the engineering orders, load analysis and all those sort of things that add $$$$$ thousands to this sort of job.
Exactly Leadie, the CAsA cost benefit analysis.
The cost is ours, the benefits are theirs.
Thorn Bird,
Nil benefit is guaranteed in this case, they are normally operating in an area and below levels where any ADS-B return is not on the screens of the controllers they are talking to, just their Mode C returns.
This just adds insult to (financial) injury.
Tootle pip!!
