Steve Dines .. haven't spoken to him in aeons. Trust life is treating him well.
Another consideration for initial testing, especially for the first couple of hours when surprises might manifest, is to look at using one of the experienced professional TPs about the place. Regardless of what anyone says, homegrown TPs are fine for routine work but that's as far as it goes ..
Several retired CASA TPs would, in all likelihood, be available to assist at reasonable cost .. all top guys and lots and lots of relevant experience. While the military folks are more than competent, their mindset is in higher performance so one should be looking at those folks who have a reasonable amount of low end civil experience.
Nicko (current CASA TP) in Canberra might be worth a telephone call to get some competent and useful heads up guidance. Thoroughly pleasant chap.
