Club Version - Reasonably priced entry into cutting-edge technology.
Some software features are not available in the club version. These are functions that can easily be dispensed with, especially in club operations. However, it is possible to purchase these functions, even individually, without any problems. The device remains in the aircraft. The features are activated by us. On the hardware side, there is no difference between the club version and the full version.
