RVSM cost for aging Citation II's

[RJones]

Quick question for those who are knowledgeable: I'm interested to know what the approximate cost (approximate) would be to upgrade a Citation II to meet the RVSM requirements?

The SB from Cessna is $89,689, not including labor, taxes, shipping, etc. Usually I estimate twice the fixed costs for labor. I have budgeted $250,000 for RVSM in 2004, but I really doubt we're going to do it. It's simply better and cheaper to use the money as a down payment on a new airplane that comes out of the box RVSM'd.
