I know this is going of subject but the airvan is simply the worst airplane I have ever flown, I would never operate one in the first place. I know this might be a subject of Oz pride but all I can say is this was a poor design not built to compete against any competitor.

Worst aircraft...., HUH??
AviatorJack, ...... are you SERIOUS, ...... and you call yourself "aviator"???
For a small aircraft manufacturer, they've managed to kick the butt of some of the major brands, even in their own countries, are certified and flying in 38 countries around the world, and on any GA hardstand would be one of very few, if any, certified to FAR23 Amdmt 55 standards.
It might not be the prettiest or the fastest, but it would have to be one of the safest around, .... I would gladly have my family of 4 fly in it! And guess what, we can ALL fit in it together, ..... and it would probably be cheaper to own and operate than its competition!
You need to get out a bit...........

Frankly, I have not seen any Garmin, Aspen etc type avionics 'upgrade' that actually works properly or even remotely compares with the function and reliability of the latest factory G1000 type avionics and autopilots.
I have a G500, with a new GTN650, and KFC200 autopilot that works brilliantly, and can do all the things that a factory installed G1000 can. Approaches, FD, VNAV etc etc. I love it! The only thing the G500 doesn't have is the engine management side, which the EDM960 will take care of, which interfaces with the GPS and provides the last bit of functionality that I missed out on.

It's already in the press in India, can't find (and couldn't really bother rightnow) the reference. Google it if you like. Something about the fastest growing GA market in the world , building and expanding airports all over the place and ramping local manufacturing up something severe. Only for the Indian market. With the middle class growing exponentially and govmnt looking at aviation as a strategic key infrastructure for speedy growth and servicing BLA BLA.
Head out of sand Australia. We have paid for their r&d.

India fastest growing GA market in the world. Heaps of upgrades.
Must be true, the press says so.
we paid for their R& D, they'll b hundreds of airvans there soon....
What a bunch of hysterical BS.
good luck finding Avgas in these wonderful, new invisible airports.
Airvans are great for single engine charter operations. All you clueless idiots who make up things here should look into the restrictions on single engine piston ops.
Right now, there is no market in Idia for airvans and it will take a lot of work to create one

Not everything is about you Sprocket.
Shall we make new rules that any company that get government help is banned from looking for overseas investors, maybe we should just shut companies down if they have received government help, can't get local backing and are selling to foreigners.
Brilliant.
