I'm just a guy like you and so many others who wants to depend on his
airplane as a safe means of travel.  I've been a pilot for 30+ years, =
former
FBO owner, licensed A&P, Aerospace Engineer and FAA Program Manager.  I
contacted the LA FSDO as a private citizen to see what they could or =
would
tell me regarding PE's past and present repair station status.  I was
subsequently contact by Mr. Jeff Plants as a follow up and asked to =
assist
in the gathering information he has requested.

Please don't misunderstand my motives.  I have no interest in hanging PE =
out
to dry.  What I want is to know when they began their indiscretions, if =
it
has ended, and how they plan to make good on the engines/people they =
have
done wrong.  I don't necessarily want to see them closed down but I do =
want
to see them get slapped upside the head for putting lives at risk.  =
Forcing
them out of business will serve no purpose because they could simply =
reopen
under another name.

Does this help?

Hi Danny,

I am NOT questioning your intentions.

I am NOT questioning your integrity.

I am NOT questioning what you are doing.

But......

Can you please tell us who you are and how you have found yourself in=20
possession of a Letter of Marque from the FAA in this investigation?

Before you question my motives, I will explain them concisely as: "once=20
almost bitten, twice shy."=20

The last time a private party approached me soliciting information for=20
the FAA, it turned out to be a front for lawyers collecting data for a=20
class action lawsuit. The fundamental difference between the situations=20
is that I was dealing with a certified engine in a Mooney and here we=20
are talking experimental engines. But as I said before: "once almost=20
bitten, twice shy."

Regards,

Hamid
