No AOC issues either, the aircraft is experimental...because it's just that, first of type with extensive modifications.
Operational flying starts beginning of September. As always planned.
Crock of **** Badengo, contract start date was 8th August. That means the ability to provide full SAR coverage on the 8th August.
Cairns also going to be a month delayed.
All good having unproven onboard sensors, but they are all pointless if they cant drop!!
