Our FLight dept owns a Lear 31a. Currently there is no power to the
cabin (ie **V outlet) I have been quoted exhorbanant pricing to add a
12v cigar lighter (5000+) to the cockpit or cabin. Any ideas on what
I can do as an alternative? (and still remain legal)

Use what the airlines do?

where to get them now.)
