Yes, thanks...

Looks like you were correct again HS. Its been confirmed by Bill TPAC is not NAVAIR certified in Type A

BOEING or any other Big Aerospace manufacturer are going to want type A Certified bearings with 4 times the life cycle. TPAC's certification is outdated and useless.

...and that's why I say there was never a meeting...doubt anyone wants to >> really look like a fool...

...anymore than they already have.

Those non-A Type bearings are absolutely not useless. In today's cost cutting market, if you're a manufacturer like Boeing or Airbus building new airplanes and you can spend $50,000 for bearings that meet the spec but only last 25,000 cycles, or $100,000 for the same spec bearings that last four times longer, and the dollar is the bottom line, which would you choose?

You'd go with the cheaper ones for a less expensive airplane and count on the purchaser to upgrade to the longer life bearings when the life cycle is reached. That's the real world.
