Fact. contractually it was required to be task capable on the start date. Now we are being told cairns aircraft will be a month late. That means even more gaps in the SAR plan. Cobham gonna pretty well do what they want, AMSA has no choice. Less capable aircraft, new sensors which are unitegrated and unproven, an unsafe, or at best ineffective drop system, but hey, at least it's not cheap.
