The matter of Mr Lepore's type rating not showing up on the FAA registry is meaningless. It often takes about 60 days (or more) from the time that the temporary certificate is issued for this to be reflected on FAA.gov. How does anyone know that he didn't recently complete training. Sloppy, lazy reporting. As with so many other aspects of this accident, there appears to be no shortage of unsubstantiated ill-informed and possibly biased reporting going on in the Brazillian press. Conviction by innuendo. One might even call it a smear campaign. All the reports I have read from their press regarding the Legacy crew have been slanted toward a presumption of guilt without basis in verifiable fact. I guess if the officials involved know Mr. Lepore's certifications, they either don't care to tell the press, or the press simply can't let facts get in the way of a good story. In the US, what they are doing is known as a hatchet job. On the good side, it makes the US and british press look a little better in comparison.
