Default FAA lets aerospace firms certify safety of their products
Hmmm, isn't this a scary proposition? But then it's only a lavatory, right?

From Seattle Times:
EVERETT — In a conference room at the Jamco America plant here, about 50 framed certificates hang on one wall.

Each testifies that a Jamco project to upgrade an airline's passenger cabins complies with all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety regulations. But the regulatory regime they represent will soon be replaced by greater reliance on a company's internal watchdogs.

"Those on the wall were all signed by the FAA," said Jamco manager Dave Crotty. "In the future, I'll be signing those myself."

Jamco, a supplier to Boeing and Airbus, last month became the first company in the Pacific Northwest authorized to self-certify that its products meet FAA safety requirements.

Let's hope there's no oversight in this Oversight...

The FAA also now lets people become certificated pilots in 20 hours. Now that is a scary proposition.
