You need to convince the FAA of the many errors of their ways.

Like when they and the other xAAs signed off the DC10 cargo-door design.........

Like they etc signed off the CFM56 not requiring testing "on the wing"...........

Like they signed off the 737/300-500 EFIS as suitable for airline use..............

Like they signed off the dreadful "Eros" O2 masks as suitable...........

Like they signed off the MD11 IFE cableworks...............

Like they permit 2/2 engines to have critical work performed at the same time........

Like they signed off the V2500 engine cowl fastening design..................

Like they signed off the A330 pitot tube design & continued use til..................

Like they will sign off the latest FTLs under industry pressure.............

Like they signed off the multitude of Airbus quirks ad nauseam.............

Like they signed off Li-Ion batteries as primary DC supplies........................

Like they signed off cross-wireable engine fire extinguisher systems...............

And so on, doubtless other contributors wll be able to add to the *hit list?

Hello manufacturers/airlines, why are you bothering to pay for the rubber stamp when there's obviously not a lot of work being put into it's verification?

Unless you aren't particularly interested in a proper job being done in the first place?
