I'd be happy to be involved but how? The industry needs a strong leader.

On a separate note I have probably one of the few pressurised aircraft that doesn't have radar. Under the new proposed rules ALL pressurised aircraft be piston or turbine have to have Radar.

So I have to install a radar unit, yet when I was in the USA I flew a great Aero Commander 685 that had a Garmin530wAAS unit with a satelite radar attached. Cheap more reliable and compatible with the rest of the aircraft equipment at a fraction of the weight and more reliable.

Can I get it here, don't be silly we are flying aircraft and systems based on the 1960's
