I agree with Jerry on this one. To have an AD system in place would extend liability on our "advisors" to the point that a liar (my spelling of lawyer) would come after our group saying that we deemed a ship airworthy.
I want to stay as an advisory person, not a certification person.
I also want to look at projects with an open mind that when someone does something different, before I would say it won't work, I would like to check with the group to see if this new technique may be a better way of doing something.

Sounds stifling to me. At this point, the rotary installation is still evolving rapidly and new ideas appear all the time. Trying to comply with "old" ADs is a different mind set entirely. I think every builder should be encouraged to follow Georges' recommendations, especially about ground testing but beyond that is is up to the builder. I realize I am the only voice that is not enthusiastic about the formation of the safety police. Jerry
