Default Lightning in XM weather

Little to nothing. They're providing the equipment at reduced cost
(pro-rated based on when you purchased it, assuming you have a current
working FIS subscription). Antenna is extra, installation is extra
(and of course you have to yank the headliners out to run the cabling
for the on-top-of-aircraft antenna rather than the underneath FIS
antenna, etc etc etc). Including labor it's looking like around $3500
- $5500 per aircraft to upgrade depending on time since the KDR510 was
purchased.


Wow, it seems that B/K is making a customer's decision to move over to XM or
WSI a bit easier.
