New England Patriots 767 delivers N95s
A crazy level of red tape for a single flight. Anyone know what kind of avionics upgrade would be needed? I’ve only ever taken my plane to Canada and Mexico... (www.wsj.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Us companies manufacturing N95 masks were subject to the medical device tax under Ocare. Guess what, they moved offshore.
You are correct, but others just got out of the business as the tax made it difficult to compete vs. existing offshore products. Mexico got a lot of the business, but they had some of it before the Obamacare tax which was the last nail in the coffin.
Just a guess: 3rd long range nav + HF Comm.
Article on patriots.com says the 767 needed “software to provide a map of the flight path and the ability to communicate with air traffic controllers in that part of the world.”
Same article says a crew of 12 was onboard: 4 pilots, 5 flight attendants, 2 maintenance workers, 1 pilot observer.

Just as important Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) transponders
There isn’t a chance a 767 flying around the US doesn’t have that, is there? Most piston singles I’m around have them.
Aha, that makes sense. It was hard to believe that why I assume is a well maintained 767 wouldn’t have a modern avionics suite. I’ve taken my Cirrus to Mexico, Canada, and as far as Puerto Rico, with standard equipment. Obviously, I’ve not considered transoceanic flights.
