Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
Sunnysky, there is a group of people (including GMAS, a Skymaster expert who used to contribute to this Message Board) who believe that the AD should not have been issued, that the failure rate of airmelt and VAR cranks was not significantly different, and that the FAA bowed to pressure from Continental. The failure data I have seen seems to support this point, but one never knows if one is seeing the whole picture, so I don't have a position on this.
