VOTE: Paying for VFR Web Weather...

Postby RudiGreyling » Thu Nov 25, 2010 8:00 am

Repeated here on Microlighters 'cause I don't know how many people saw the debate and poll at AVCOM about paying for VFR Weather.
Seems they have interaction with the guys behind this move over at Avcom, so that is the place to go have your say if you want to do it.

I've put up a poll just to see what people are prepared to pay...Go to the LINK and Make your mark please and debate it over there!

Read http://www.weathersa.co.za/web/AvChoice.asp
The debate about how this has gone about is here: http://www.avcom.co.za/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 13&t=68849

I see we get 2 types of GA (General Aviation) users. Those that do it for leisure and those that do it for a business function (Training, business transport, money making flips etc)

Make your mark and/or comment below...
