Resolves Vague Use Of Generic Checklists By Builders
The FAA put amateur builders into a state of regulatory limbo
starting in 2008, when it announced it was rewriting its guidelines
for inspectors. Inspectors evaluating rotorcraft, weight-shift
aircraft and powered parachutes were instructed to use the old,
vague, generic fabrication and assembly task checklist, creating a
huge grey area. That vagueness appears to finally be resolved.
