The idea of TA's and Investigators is a good idea. We would need to
establish a level of credibility for the group. I would propose the same
solution as Ehkerr. The EAA has the established credibility with the FAA and
NTSB, so as previously suggested, we should do it under the auspices of the
EAA Technical Advisor program. If we put together a group of qualified
people and were sanctioned under the EAA TA program, we could then assist
the FAA/NTSB in their investigations. There are no other "interested
parties" in the experimental world as there are in the certificated world,
such as the engine manufacture, pilots union, airframe manufacturer or
operating company. We could fill that void.

Anyone interesting in pursuing this at Oshkosh this year?
