United Naions sanctions were busted when that PAC 750 was sold to North Korea.
A New Zealand court has convicted Pacific Aerospace Limited executives of violating UN sanctions against illegal trading. After reading a series of e-mails, the NZ court is not buying the alibi about a Chinese trader committing all the sins. Now the NZ court is deciding whether to fine PAC executives or imprison them or both.

The UN imposed sanctions on NK in an effort to convince NK to halt their development of nuclear bombs and Intercontinental Ballistic Missles. NK has recently test-fired missiles to demonstrate their ability to strike countries thousands of miles away. South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Guam, Canada, USA, and dozens of island nations are afraid the NK will detonate nuclear bombs over their countries. PAL is only prolonging the misery by selling hardware to NK. It looks like NK is using that PAC 750 to develop hardware for military drones.
Scary!

I just hope that PAL emerges from this intact and continues to build one of the better jump-planes on this planet.

Nah, jump pilots work a lot cheaper than the cost of drones.

there are 2 stories,,,not one.

1. PAL sold a plane to a Chinese customer,,,they resold it to a third party who flew it into n korea
2. china is converting the p750 into cargo delivery drones

For some reason, I can't see the point in this. What is the problem with having a pilot?

major pilot shortage now and in future (in china). And about 30 percent less cost.

By the door there is a heading indicator and a left/right button to adjust the heading value.
