  • The Sky is not Falling -

    No, fellow aviation family, the sky is not falling. Vacuum pump 'Service Bulletins' are just another crystal-clear
    weasel tactic drummed up by some corporate shill. As a quick reminder: The FAA approves components for
    use on U.S. Type Certified aircraft. Not the OEM, Not the T.C. - Only the FAA. Therefore, the use of the
    word 'mandatory' for compliance is ignorable. The transparent attempt by T.C. holders to make sure they
    continue to make money selling parts is despicable and underhanded. The blatant transfer of liability to aviation
    mechanics for vacuum pump continued airworthiness is unconscionable. Next thing they'll be doing is issuing
    "Service Bulletins" stating that you can only buy Burger King® Whoppers® if you own a Cessna 150 - Oh,
    and compliance would be mandatory. What an inconsiderate way to take advantage of the hard working
    American. I'm ashamed.
