I don't necessarily disagree with you - but now, thanks to some effort by the JPO, those engines are in compliance with the AMA rules...
Keeping up with these types of issues is one of the primary responsibilities of the JPO, in my opinion (and it the opinion of the majority who have answered the survey), and is one of the reasons that the JPO needs to continue to exist, even if only about 300 of the 1800+ turbine waiver holders are members. I sure wish it was more, and I'm working to add additional value to JPO membership, but in my opinion, having a strong jet community voice inside the AMA alone is worth $25 a year...
