BarkerBK Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 The Russians weren't keen on providing unobtainium for vaporware...... All jokes aside, this is not vaporware just the all important FAA paperwork is. We'll keep updating as news comes out. Cheers, Steve 2 Quote
BarkerBK Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 I do want to give you folks a heads up, and I am leaving BK. Andrew Barker will be taking my place, so you'll be in good hands. I appreciate the enthusiasm around this product, and I really hope we can give you folks good news really soon. Cheers, Steve 3 Quote
steingar Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 I think all the airframe manufacturers used to have folks who knew the government folks really well, and could grease the certification gears with simple people know how. Manufacturers seem to have had a much easier time coming out with many different airframes back in the day. I think what changed that was the litigation storm of the 80's. They all stopped making airplanes for about a decade. I imagine the older workers who knew the FAA folks retired or moved on, and the newer workers who replaced them didn't establish those relationships. Indeed, they probably had no idea that such relationships existed. The culture as changed and has remained so. 2 Quote

Your efforts here and other forums have established a good relationship with your company and your customers, present and future. It has given BK/TT a critical "edge" in a discerning marketplace. It would be a huge mistake for BK to allow what you have established to fade. All the best Steve, where ever the future finds you! Nav (Cappy in other forums) 2 Quote

Cheers, Steve This is very disappointing! We finally get an advocate BK that has given us some hope. Having retired from a fifty year career in technology companies in many different roles, when I see turnover it raises my eyebrows. I wish you all the best and hope that you will check in here and follow this thread. I offer my warmest thanks for doing your best to keep us informed. If the company does not continue this method of staying in touch with their customer base, they are missing a great opportunity. 3 Quote
MBDiagMan Posted February 4, 2020 Report Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Okay, the Trutrak will be approved any day.

That and that a homozygote for a dominant or recessive trait will pass that trait on to their offspring. And a man carrying an X-linked trait will always pass it on to his daughters and never his sons. Other than that it's up for grabs. Quote
