I've heard that LET is currently investigating whether working out a fix

Right now the answer is Zero. None are in use. Can anyone verify this

anyone at the FAA given statistical information to them? How about
economic impact? Seriously? regards, D


I'm still trying to collect information from the US owners, getting a
response or two daily. I've yet to hear of an A.I. effort, but I hope
it's a work in progress. It will take some time yet just for the US
numbers.
