Default Return of the honor system

the time the Eisenhower era did. But this isn't so.
The FAA, whom I'm starting to like more and more
is still using it.

You can have an LSA that goes 300mph if you promise
not to go over 138mph in straight and level flight.

I promise.

Not quite.

You can have a LSA that is certified by the manufacturer to have a maximum
speed in level flight at sea level of 120 knots at maximum continuous
power.

You are on the honor system to not execeed maximum continuous power, which
can be a specified power as opposed to an actual, it will blow up, maximum.
