If a DC10 freighter conversion was already approved by the FAA, who also approved the original DC10's before Transport did, would that not make it more of a paper work exercise than anything else?
Then again, we know how fast paper moves at Transport.
If there were extra safety features TC wanted installed that the FAA didn't (extra smoke detectors, etc.), could TC give an exemption for a period of time with the idea that they would shortly be brought up to a TC's desired standard?
