So, in the end it might be the same as renting a spin certified airplane. In a dollars and cents way I'm kinda winning. But it stings to know what I just paid for $1.50 in parts, if that. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 291 Likes: 48 Member/250+posts | | Member/250+posts Joined: Apr 2019 Posts: 291 Likes: 48 | Call it, aviation inflation. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 35,602 Likes: 569 DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!! | | DA POOBS Member with 30,000+ posts!!

I'm paying for quick, white glove service, too. Justification saves the day... But seriously, that's good service. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 25,465 Likes: 1010 Member/25,000 posts | | Member/25,000 posts Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 25,465 Likes: 1010 | Call it, aviation inflation.

Was thinking about that too. I suspect it is still a cost issue. It's a (probably small) finite remaining market and they can't just make it as a PMA part. The AD calls for a specific Cessna kit. So McFarlane would have to apply for an AMOC and the costs immediately mount for a small return. | | |
