Yep – even though the plane is “November” registered we still have to follow ICAO and German Laws. Adds heaps to the costs as well.

A “normal” DME costs about $1000.00. A DME with harmonic filtering - just because Germany says so – roughly $5000.00.

The next step in March 2007?

Mode S and yet another $5000.00.

So I'm looking at 10k for avionics over the next 5 months.

This is where I plug the last surviving non-profit military flying club in Europe for donations...
