lomapaseo, I'd actually agree with you - providing the threat level remained the same. Not being a Boeing engineer and knowing the designs in detail I've no idea. I'm just interested that the FAA seemed to have called this out so, was that because the new engines have somehow increased the risk or, is this a case of the "political dimensions" in the past that people have discussed. I have just seen
Big Pistons Forever reply which seems to explain this nicely. My only interest is that I've been involved in adding weapons to updated aircraft and readacross/grandfathering was always an issue. What could be safely read across and what couldn't often caused interesting/heated discussions.
