"at this time" means just that. Leaves open the possibility for something else, like say another CBO (which is free to form on it's own). Or, perhaps the AMA decides to be a go to resource and charges a "fee" for services. Again, how many of these non member requested inspections do you realistically think there will be?
The AMA is who pushed this law through congress concerning models that have to be inspected by the AMA, if they don’t want the liability they should have thought of that before they lobbied for the law. Now the AMA
should just inspect any models that the law requires inspection on where it be a AMA members models or not and leave it at that, and also the FAA should require that the AMA follow the law.
