FAA Administrator Michael Huerta has announced the membership of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Registration Task Force.
Earl Lawrence, Director of the FAA’s UAS Integration Office, and Dave Vos of Google X will co-chair the group. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and Administrator Huerta announced the formation of the Task Force last week. Task Force membership was by invitation only and participation is voluntary. It appears like the Québec Government has entered into a bailout agreement with Bombardier to keep its C-Series program afloat. Minister of the Economy, Innovation and Exports in Quebec, Jacques Daoust, has announced the signing of a partnership with Bombardier to form a limited partnership to complete the C-Series program. After investing 1 billion U.S. dollars, the Québec government will hold a 49.5% stake in the new company. It’s obvious that when the builder pilot is operating the airplane there is a certain level of liability that must be assumed, but the question has been, if the owner sells the airplane what liability continues to remain with the builder?
One pilot has expressed this concern in a dramatic way. He has produced a YouTube video dramatically showing the destruction of his RV-8 homebuilt airplane. The airplane has been safely flying for 10 years, but after consulting with aviation attorneys and other experts regarding builder’s liability, the owner concluded there was only one way out.
