As this will I think be my last post on this subject until an opportunity to view the full TSB report and the findings and recommendation is forthcoming I would now rather just view the posts presented.
However having today spoken to a person closely involved in a certification process conducted by a European manufacture to meet the JAA/EASA requirements, maybe it’s time to look at the agreements that exist for transfer of Type Approvals, acceptance and interpretation of requirements used to certify.
It would seem a level playing field may be missing. Also maybe some authorities should revisit the original test data to determine its validity.
Regarding the comment posted below, JAA/EASA to my knowledge accepted a true test, maybe the FAA should check again for compliance.
It is the FAA and JAA/EASA that need to be looking at their belly buttons.
Back when valid data and info available for further comment.
