IO-540 always like to remind us that European avionic shops are far less capable/reliable than those in the US and that with 90% of the aviation market, the American approval system must always be right. Some of us work under both approval systems and do know how to use the EASA certification system and make it work effectively. In many cases, EASA design approvals provide significantly better certification data than provided in equivalent FAA STCs!
Wigglyamp, can you post an actual example where the superior EASA approach has improved safety?
If unable to, I will accept an example which is purely theoretical so long as full detail of the failure mode is supplied.
