Approved Data P-Series/JPI Instrument Installation and Use

[Dave Underwood]

You are not far wrong. There is a lot of Euro pressure for the early introduction of mode S, in fact 2005 is the current plan for all craft including micros and balloons.

The feeling is that it make automatic charging more straight forward. No need for the swipe on the panel, they will be able to track you automatically then and do auto debits on your credit card. Big brother is watching you and taking your money when ever he can (at least here in the UK).

The good news on that however, is that I am working on getting an STC to lower the MTOW on the 337 to just below the two metric tons, or 4400 lbs in weight (as opposed to money) so to come in at just under the current charging threshold.

The lengths you have to go to to beat the system.

I was going to suggest that it was feeling like time to move home to Canada, but I think it will have to be on the Islands with you. Do you rent rooms?
