I heard about something like this a while back. Apparently the new planes
aren't selling all that good and there's some lobbying going on to limit
the
life of the old ones. Maybe that's what it's about.



I think that what you are referring too, is the Limits of Liability of the
original manufacturers. Should Piper or Cessna be liable if a 40 year old
airframe fails? (or mebbe/ coulda/ possibly. failed) If the builder's
liability could be capped by statute at 25 years, the savings in litigation
would be reflected in lower costs for new GA aircraft. (in theory)
