of certification.  Not only that, but you're 'correcting' what I said

Well, it has "absolutely nothing to do with it" except that "The
exactly what [gets inspected] for modern aircraft is detailed in the
manufacturers maintenance manual which is a required item for
certification in the first place."

Well, it has "absolutely nothing to do with it" except that "The
exactly what [gets inspected] for modern aircraft is detailed in the
manufacturers maintenance manual which is a required item for
certification in the first place."

Oh, the manufacturer may have to do far more than that.

And they 'accumulate history' by inspecting what?  Rumour has it that
"exactly what [gets inspected] for modern aircraft is detailed in the
manufacturers maintenance manual which is a required item for
certification in the first place".

Not quite.

The maintenance manual details what equipment the aircraft actually
has, e.g. retractable gear, deicing boots, hydraulic actuated control
surfaces, etc..

The manufacturer MAY require an inspection of some system on a more
stringent schedule than required by the FAA, but that is not generally
done as people generally do not wish to own high maintenance aircraft.

It is the engineers at the FAA that have decided that 100 hour progressive
inspections are what is required for commercial aircraft carrying
passengers.

An individual item on an aircraft on a 100 hour inspection schedule
is not likely to be inspected more than once during a 12 month interval.

The DOCUMENTATION of what requires ongoing inspection is part of 
certification. That does not mean it will be inspected during certification.

What part of the DOCUMENTATION of what requires ongoing inspection is part of
certification is it you do not understand?

That means the maker has to write and submit a maintenance manual.

It does NOT mean the maker does any of it.

Well, yes things have changed alot in the past few decades.

What the FAA expects for composite skin versus aluminum skin versus
linen skin are all different.

Composite skin is a relatively new thing.

ADS-B equipment is a very new thing.

The GENERATION of the manufacturers maintenance manual is a required
item for certification. Actually performing all the steps in it is not.

As for what happens when new technology appears, consult part 15 of
14 CFR which details certification for transport aircraft.

Here is a SMALL part of it:

25.307   Proof of structure.

"(a) Compliance with the strength and deformation requirements of this
subpart must be shown for each critical loading condition. Structural
analysis may be used only if the structure conforms to that for which
experience has shown this method to be reliable. In other cases,
substantiating tests must be made to load levels that are sufficient to
verify structural behavior up to loads specified in 25.305."

Which means if you are using something that has lots of engineering
history such as aluminum, you use industry standard analysis techniques,
but if you are using some brand new composite material for which there
is little to no engineering history, you have to do real testing.

In other words, when it's 'new stuff' the manufacturer's engineers
make the call based on engineering performance estimates, which is
precisely what I said.  Since they also don't want aircraft with a
reputation for falling out of the sky, they will mandate inspections
based on those performance estimates.

Uh, isn't that backwards from what you said before?  Oh, well...

Regardless, an inspection that requires the inspection of nothing
isn't much of an inspection and it's the manufacturer who specifies
what needs to be inspected when it's 'new' technology.

So now you're back to my original understanding and not talking about
how all the 100 hour inspections in a year wind up inspecting all the
stuff that would be inspected on an annual inspection.

Nobody said it would be.  Is English one of your native languages?
What *I* said was that for 'new' technologies the manufacturer's
engineers will specify what needs to be inspected and how often based
on the engineering performance of those items.  So far as I can tell,
that's exactly what you're saying in your 'disagreement' with me.

But there are no pilots with aluminum skin, composite skin, or any new
'equipment' that they haven't had since Adam.  We're talking about
PILOTS at this point.  I know it's hard for you, but try to keep up

Very, very, very, rarely.

Makers try very hard to NOT require anything extra, whether it is "new
stuff" or "old stuff".

Nope, I have NEVER said it was anyone other than the FAA that mandates
100 hour and annual inspections.

Where do you get this "inspection of nothing"?

It is the manufacturer who specifies what needs to be inspected in that
the manufacturer, in the maintenane manual, LISTS the systems the aircraft
actually has, i.e. does it have mechanical control surfaces or hydraulic.

>>An individual item on an aircraft on a 100 hour inspection schedule

I have said all along 100 hour inspections are PROGRESSIVE, which means
not ALL items are inspected every 100 hours but a subset of all the
items.

That means, for example, that the landing gear might be inspected during
the first 100 hour inspection within 12 calendar months and not inspected
again until the first 100 hour inspecton of the next 12 calendar months.

Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

Very, very, very, very rarely.

You are picking a fly speck out of a truck load of pepper.

And you are overlooking the point that ALL systems must be inspected.

What part of the FAA requires ALL systems to be inspected you do not
understand?

What part of the maker simply lists what systems an aircraft has you do
not understand?

What part of very, very, very rarely do makers impose inspections more
stringent than required by the FAA do you not understand?

Medical knowledge has changed. The medical standards for pilots is based
on MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE, i.e. the cumulative history of medicine.

Why is it you can not understand that medical science is ALWAYS changing?

The medical requirements for pilots is based on the CURRENT cumulative
history of medical science.

The requirement for a 3rd class physical for private pilots is at this
time being eliminated as cumulative history shows it is not a requirement
for safety.

If, and only if you have sufficient cumulative history to justify it.

Otherwise, you have to use extensive testing data during certification.

That is what happens with "new stuff", extensive testing during cerification,
which has NOTHING to do with on going inspections after certification.

The numbers in a maintenance manual are numbers like how much oil goes

Makers try very hard to not have fucking airplanes falling out of the
sky, so if engineering analysis says that something needs to be
checked, you can be pretty sure that the maintenance manual is going
to specify checking it.

Makers have to prove the design meets the requirements of Part 25 14 CFR
during the certification process and the certification process has nothing
to do with on going maintenance other than the maintenance manual is a
part of the PAPERWORK requirements.

Do you not understand the difference between design verification and on
going maintenance?

Nope, the aircraft never gets through the certification process for lack
of a maintenance manual unless during the certification process the 
maker has proved that all parts last forever, including the tires and
engine oil.

Try staying sober two days in a row and it might start making sense

Nope.

With have a curmudgeon determined to show the world he is an expert
on everythng who will argue with whatever I say even if it is a direct
quote from an authority.

Which, again, will only happen if during the certification process the
maker proves that everything has an unlimited life, including tires and
engine oil.

I guess it is time to dumb it down even further.

The maintenance manual is part of the required paperwork for certification.

The maintenance manual describes the on going maintenance procedures for
the operation of the aircraft after certification.

It is about things like changing the oil, proper torque when working on
wheel assemblies, tire inflation, allowable wear in moving parts, lubriaction
specifications, etc.

It is the normal maintenace performed on a thing to keep it working as
originally designed.

>>What part of the maker simply lists what systems an aircraft has you do

No, I am not.

Would you expect the maintenance manual to list other than the systems
a particular aircraft has?

I did not explicitly state, again, that it contains the details such as
what type of spark plug and internal combutsion engine uses, but if you
weren't arguing just for the sake of arguing you would understand that.

How frequently for an individual item is 12 months.

For a maker to specify something more stringent than the FAA requirement
is economic suicide.

Actually pilots have changed, The average pilot of today is taller and
heavier than those of a few decades ago.

But that isn't the point, the point is that medical standards for pilots
have changed because medical knowledge has changes.

Actually, it is not, as there is lots of new medical technology which
has a direct effect on medical standards.

And the point here is that ALL FAA standards and regulations are subject
to change as the applicable state of the art changes contrary to what
seems to be your point of view that the FAA is frozen in time.

My original post that started you froothing was about certification of
aircraft and you have continued to talk about certification of aircraft.

Now that you are in a corner with your ignorance you are trying to negate
all of your curmudgeon posts and ignoring the fact I said many posts ago
to that other guy you are trying to browbeat that FAA certification of 
aircraft has nothing to do with the rockets of SpaceX.

No, they do not normally.

Normally it is once every 12 months.

If the aircraft is expected to be in a high usage environment racking up
many thousands of hours per year, SOME things MAY have an hour limitation
such as change the oil every X hundred of hours.

Do you understand that for the aircraft to be certified the maker would
have to prove that everything, includinng tires and engine oil, has an
unlimited life?

You keep saying that as if someone has said otherwise.  Are you really

Again you cannot apparently read.  I didn't say there wasn't a

Care to try that again in English?  There is 'quoting' authority and

in addition are arguing things no one but you ever said.

Jesus, but you're stupid.  You keep dragging up 'tires and engine
oil'.  I didn't say the manual said EVERYTHING was a 'no inspect', you
arrogant little troll.  However, how about oil-free engines and no
tires?

Including how often to do those things and how often to check things

Why, lots of things about how to, how often to, and when to perform
that maintenance.  You keep manfully avoiding all those time related
things because they explode most of your arguments and your ego just

Ah, but you see, I DO understand that.  I also understand it should
tell me how often to check those plugs, how often to clean and regap
them, how often to replace them, etc.  You seem in denial about all
that.

Do you not understand the difference between "for *a* part" and "for
*all* parts"?  What I said was the former.  Why would I need to prove
anything about tires or engine oil if I made an armrest 'no inspect'?

Put your giant ego to bed and stop looking for things to argue about.

You are the one blathering on about on going, routine inspections and
maintenance being part of certification, which by the way has nothing
to do with "fucking rockets".

Correct, but you keep insisting the performance of the maintenance

What about them?

Maintenance manuals written by sane people say what to do, the do NOT
say what NOT to do.

99.99% of the time, it does not.

Periodicity is 100 hours or 12 months as I keep saying.

No sane person writes a maintenance manual that says not to maintain
something that requires no maintenance.

Your are being childish just to argue.

Yes, and you say the 100 hours inspections actually add up to a 12

Bullshit.  Now you're just making shit up.

Let us suppose that I have a bunch of cables and pulleys and such that
require annual maintenance.  Let's say there are 10 of them and each
cable requires 10 hours of maintenance a year, for a total maintenance
requirement per year of 100 hours.  Suppose further that each cable
must be replaced every 5 years for an additional 25 hours per cable.
Now suppose that I replace all those cables with a set of cable runs
that only require a 5 hour inspection every 5 years and never require
replacement, a set of 10 motors that only require a 1 hour inspection
every year, and a control computer for the whole works that requires a
5 minute inspection/test every 100 hours.  

Original maintenance budget over 5 years was 750 hours.  Maintenance
budget with the 'high inspection' computer is less than 700 hours and
almost all of that is the result of those 5 minute computer checks
(and assuming a preposterously high flight rate).  Since it's a 5
minute check it can be done overnight.  Maintenance time reduced by
adding a preposterously high periodicity check.

No, Chimp.  What was being discussed was technological change TO THE

Whether it needs it or not.  And how do you decide just which bits
need it every 100 hours?  Periodicity must be specified SOMEWHERE for

Actually, oil and tires are checked every time before flight during the
preflight inspection, which has NOTHING to do with the maintenance
manual, as it is part of the operational manual.

But since you know nothing about aviation I would not expect you to
know that.

You have no clue how any of it works because you know nothing about
aviation and all the regulations that govern it and are basing everything
you say on what YOU think things should be.

The FAA bases the requirments on about a century worth of accumulated
knowledge which seems to be working pretty well and when something
isn't working, the regulations are changed.

A total fair tale scenario that also shows you know nothing about how
aircraft systems work.

In your fairy tale world, but not in the real world of aviation.

For starters, for airplanes with cables, the cable would be checked
for slack or play around the pulleys and the pulleys would be inspected
for wear. As cables come in pairs, you would do both at the same time
and it would take all of about a minute. The idea of having a computer
contolled cable and pulley system in an airplane is just ludicrous.

Wasn't ot you who argued that FAA imposed maintenance intervals on new
aircraft ?

Maintenance intervals have to be demonstrated to the FAA during
certification.

MTBF must also be demonstrated to get ETOPS rating, and generally a
plane gets low ETOPS first and after a year or two in service, once MTBF
is more reliably known, ETOPS is augmented.

Starting with the Airbus A320, FAA and other certification agencies
learned an important lesson: they can't apply old rules to new planes.
For the A320, they failed to properly test the software that ran the
plane because they weren't used to doing so and allow a buggy aircraft
to enter service.


If the FAA were to regulate SpaceX, it would not accept engineers "we
think this is good for 11 flights". They would want to see actual
experience duringa  flight test period and this is exactly what SpaceX
is doing.

And SpaceX will have a very good idea of how many times a stage can be
re-used, how much it costs to refurb between flights, how many they can
succesfully land etc.

It may exceed 11 flights, it be less than that.

Well, that will never happen, thank God.  If it were to happen, where
do you think they're going to get the numbers they start with; pull
'em out of some bureaucrat's ass?  No, they'll get them from those
engineers whose opinions you say they wouldn't accept.

You understand that SpaceX currently is NOT in 'flight test', right.
They're selling rocket launches.

They have a pretty good idea of most of that now, because, unlike you,

If you roll two dice, the total may meet or exceed three or it may be
less than that.  If you think those odds are even approximately equal,
you must lose fortunes at the craps tables.

Nope, I never said FAA did that.

What I said was a manufacturer MAY specify maintenance and inspection
schedules that are MORE stringent than FAA requirements in the maintenance
manual.

You got that part correct.

The manufacturers maintenance manual has to be PRODUCED during cerification.

That does not mean any procedure has to be actually performed during
cerification.

ETOPS has nothing to do with periodic inspections or aircraft certification,
but rather is about aircraft operations.

There is more to ETOPS than operations. In order to get ETOPS xxx
certification, the airplane has to demonstrate high MTBF numbers while
in operation.

And generally, a new plane gets low ETOPS number and it is increased in
time as its empirical data shows sufficient reliability.

So you agree it is "about aircraft operations" as I said.

So they'll certify based on zero evidence?  Wow, you just make shit up

So Mezei is wrong but you don't bother to correct until I post? That's

Non sequitur.

Certification is based on engineering data and flight testing, not by
going though the ongoing maintenance procedures.

One more time; certification and on going maintenance are two separate
things.

During the certification process, the maker has to GENERATE a maintenance
manual for on going maintenance. 

During certification things like the flaps down stall speed is verified.

During on going maintenance the flap hinges are inspected for wear.

Two different things.

Two different things.

The maintenance plan is the basis for what gets inspected when (you
say).  The maintenance plan never gets executed (you say), including
little details like part duty cycles and such (you say).  This means
that the FAA certifies a pig in a poke.
