That was an interesting revision process . . . AC43-13 had
not been substantially revised in decades. When keepers
of the flame were about to release the latest upgrade, they
sent a copy to the technical services guru at EAA . . . his
name escapes me at the moment . . . and asked if EAA members
could review the document and offer advice on "typos and
syntax, etc. By the way, we need your input in about a week."
I received a copy of chapter 11. Other chapters were sent
to various subject matter experts in EAA. I think I spent
4-5 late night sessions on the keyboard and managed to get
my contributions, about a dozen pages of comments, in under
the wire. I've got a copy of the EAA submission around here
somewhere . . . I'll have to dig a bit.
In any case, the total suggestion package was substantial. The
target for releasing the revision was pushed back several
months . . . almost a year I think. When it finally did get
released, most of what EAA submitted was incorporated into
the document . . . but a few new toe-stubbers were added as
well (sigh) . . . nevertheless, it was a gratifying experience.
