Take the fleet grounded at a famous Warbird base, that was due to materials issues I believe, with no paperwork existing to back up the work both sides of the pond either and in my eyes was the right thing to do.
It was purely paperwork, there was nothing wrong with the work that was done from a safety standpoint. Those guys aren’t in the business of doing shoddy, substandard work. Basically the CAA were just pissed they weren’t consulted & didn’t get to charge a heap of money for bits of paper with stamps & signatures on them.
….apparently 😉
You mention construction techniques, I can not think of ANY aircraft that will allow you to deviate from the original manufacturers laid down methods.
Comments Welcome 🙂
& that’s where the US is streets ahead of the UK because we have Experimental & Restricted category etc. That’s how you get to fly around in something like a Bearcat that has air conditioning from a Chevy Suburban to keep the pilot cool. Hasn’t been installed in the Tigercat yet tho.
