MANDATORY MEL
Some PILOTS are supporting their NATIONAL CAA in making the following equipment MANDATORY on bourd of ALL VFR AIRCRAFT operating in their FIR.
-8,33 KHZ R/T and the R/T license level 4
-MODE S
-ELT 406 MHZ for SAR
-GPS
-ACAS
Be very carefull on such a project since this also will mean thad they will RECOVER the COST of this SERVICES and EQUIPMENT on the ground via USER CHARGES also for VFR flights ???
ACTUAL VFR means LOOK OUT and VISUAL SEPARATION by the PIC dont count on the ATC for SEPARATION ???
