Repair of damaged airframe.

You will now have to pay to repair or overhaul a damaged airframe to bring it back to full operational statues. A airframe can be repaired if landed back at base on its wheels. If the aircraft can not make it back to the parking area a tow fee will be applied along with the repairs needed. A tow for a KA-50 on a FARP will count as a belly landing with in 100m of the FARP. For a A-10C it will have to be on its wheels, on base (the dirt counts with in 100m of the landing strip or paved area on the airport). On the AAR will be six(6) boxes for damage parts. If all six(6) boxes are full and the airframe still needs other repairs to be listed, It will default to a partial overhaul.

1. Repair list KA-50 A-10C
2. L/R Wing $18,000 $60,000 (Must have big holes or missing)
3. L/R Engine $90,000 $180,000 (Fire damadge, failure to run)
4. H Tail $6,000 $12,000 (Must have big holes or mission)
5. V Tail $12,000 $18,000 (Must have big holes or missing)
6. Nose $24,000 $50,000 (Big hole in nose A-10, Wires hanging out from under the nose Ka-50)
7. Boddy $66,000 $90,000 (small bullit holes on any part of the aircraft. If the part is being replaced no body repair required.)
8. Gear $36,000 $36,000 (any damadge to the landing gear system, Flat tires= $5,000 each)
9. Tow $100,000 $100,000

Tow fee ($100,000)

If the aircraft cannot make it back to the parking area a tow fee will be applied in addition to the repairs needed.
KA-50 - a tow fee will be charged provided the aircraft is within 1 km of the FARP and is on its wheels.
A-10C - a tow fee will be charged provided the aircraft is on the base concrete (or dirt within 1 nm of the landing strip or paved area) and is on its wheels.

Recovery and overhaul over rides all above Fees.

Recovery and or Partial overhaul $3,000,000
KA-50 – a partial overhaul will be charged for any belly landing or wheels-down landing over 1 km from the FARP.
A-10C – a partial overhaul will be charged for any belly landing or wheels-down landing over 1 nm from the base.
In all cases, distance from base/FARP is not to exceed 15 km (8 nm) and the airframe must be 15 km (8 nm) from the nearest threat.

Recovery and Full overhaul $5,500,000
KA-50 – a full overhaul will be charged for any landing over 15 km (8 nm) from the FARP.
A-10C – a full overhaul will be charged for any landing over 15 km (8 nm) from the FARP.
In all cases, distance from base/FARP is not to exceed 40 km (21 nm) and the airframe must be 15 km (8 nm) from the nearest threat.

Recovery costs and any damage to the airframe will be covered by the applicable overhaul fee. If you crash land within 15 km (8 nm) of a threat, an recovery/overhaul does not apply and you lose the airframe. If you do not have the cash to cover repairs the airframe will be placed in a no op state until the repairs can be paid for. You have 90 days to make good for repair cost. Non payment will result in a salvage of the airframe for parts to repair pilots airframes that pay.
