Yep, those crazy, wacky, Americans. Why, they'll let anybody with a license work on just about anything! And the accident rate is...why just about the same as other countries with their draconian regs

Why you would ever think to let a guy with experience on everything from C150's to G350's and BO105's to TwinStar's even touch a precious 135 is beyond me. I bet I couldn't even figure out how to unlock the doors

Thank God for the HR folks otherwise the aviation industry in this country would be on a one way ticket to oblivion!

Seriously though, it isn't like these things are going to the moon. If the engineers would share just a bit of their info we all might be a bit better off. It ain't rocket science what the blade shops are doing. If they would tell us in the field what they do to the blades as far as balance goes, we all might be a bit better off.
