I did not mean to imply some aircraft were not inspected. The real
difference in my mind is that in the absence of a production
certificate, each finished aircraft must undergo a conformity check
by an FAA inspector. This does not happen under a production certificate.
I believe a/c complexity dictated this change.
Perhaps, but the option still exists to build individual aircraft
without a production certificate, which aircraft must then each
undergo a conformity inspection by an FAA inspector.
