That is because many CFIs now are barely past 18 and rushing to get to the airlines. Most of them haven't already spent a career reading legal docs, regulations etc. Having blind lead the blind continues the problem.

Are you assuming politicians, burecrats, or lobbyists are rational and/or care about science or facts?

That was quick, no notice https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2026/february/04/pr-aopa-announces-leadership-transition-as-ceo-moves-to-advisory-role

Already mentioned but flight control rigging and touch on stall strip ensuring they are correct

There is a term for that, fraud. FTC doesn't like that so much

So I was correct?! Lasar "bought" Mooney and their assurance scheme was to get owners to pay for it without equity so lasar wouldn't have to risk their own capital.

As a owner I do search for myself so don't subscribe to anything. For ADs I use the faa site. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_directives It can be a PITA, searching every combination for airframe, engine, accessories. For SBs I look on manufacturers sites. I have ran into not being able to find all of them, particularly lycoming. It does take a significant amount of time and would be great if there was a place to put in your equipment serial numbers and not have to have a several thousand $ subscription and have high confidence of getting everything. Given enough start up capital and time i could create an app. There are technical challenges on access though.

So one plane

Would be cool if there were like 6 inch

Repoman?

@Jamildmc Can you get a Pic of your intake boot?

I think je got the clearance from victor, over.

Just changed my post looking at the prev again. Seems parts are getting confused. I would expect them to be quite different

Are parts getting confused here. The 180hp is 600064-000. The 200hp 600115-005. It sounds like he said the 600115-005 can replace the 600115-003 not 600064-000

Just the water that collect and freezes in the latch hole and around.
