No Rolland, That would only work if they painted stars and stripes on them!


I do see where you are coming from but the Duty Holder who signs off the RTS or what ever they call it these days accepts responsibility for the engineering (configuration/Design etc) as well as the operation. he (or it could be a she) is looking for the independent advice to cover his @rse as Garwood describes above. Now that said the advice will be highly caveated and probably recommend that the Duty Holder takes a view on the risks of not having evidence to fill every single gap. I am not at all close to this programme nor ever have been but I guess the team will have difficulty getting eyes on every single certificate of design (F100A or equivalent) for every single widget. I think we are being told that the aircraft are re-manufactured to zero flying hour condition. I am sure they have been stripped and inspected down to the last rivet and cleat.


They sure look resplendent and I hope they do as good a job as the jet they replace.


The KURs at IOC will be more than just doing circuits and bumps.
