CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

[DBNSG]

I don't work for Air Services so can't speak specifically to that, but where did you hear this?

We have aircraft older than 7 years in our inventory in E Division, I can tell you that with absolute certainty.

I can also tell you we also have a policy of 160,000kms or 10 years whichever comes first a vehicle is retired and we never follow that.

So...

Then things have changed. I used to know an RCMP contracted pilot on the PC-12's that stated at her time flying none of the aircraft were more than 7 years old.

I don’t think we have to get to 2030, anymore. IIRC the P8 delivery schedule starts next year and is unusually aggressive (for Canada).

So a normal procurement then.
