Posted for "George Braly" <gwbraly@gami.com>:

  The provisions of  part 23 (airframes) and part 33 (engines) are, in my
  judgment excellent sets of  engineering guidelines detailing all of the
  considerations that should be carefully incorporated into the design of
  an aircraft or engine.
  
   The problem is not the regulations.   The problem is the next step:
  HOW DO YOU SHOW YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE REGULATIONS.
  
   This issue is where the incredible burden and economic costs arise in
  this process.
   
  There is, no longer, any room for "experience" and "judgment" in this
  whole area.
  
   One common complaint is that the FAA is unable to make a decision that
  "enough is - - good enough".
   
  Regards,  George
