A Call to Arms from Richard VanGrunsven
wrote:
All that said, the most common
argument (not necessarily one with which I'm in agreement) in favor of
professional builds of experimental aircraft is that the pro shops
turn out a better quality product which is less likely to injure or kill
the proverbial innocent bystander. Even if we accept that at face value
(which I certainly don't), it begs for the creation of a new
experimental sub-category, perhaps Experimental Professional Built,
with increased oversight akin to that suffered by the standard category
manufacturers in pursuing and maintaining their type certificates.
I also don't agree that innocents are less likely to be killed by a
pro built plane. Show me the stats to prove it.
The real killer is that the customer of a pro built plane may also get
the repairman's certificate which means that he lied about building
it.
