Ditto that a 415-D with a 415-D airworthinessor higher model is not eligible.The entire discussion is for the possibly hundreds of planes with somepaperwork trail showing that a conversion might have been a. started or b. been completed (but not legally) but no record of it ever flying as a Dc. or been completed (but not legally) AND flown as a D thinking it hadbeen done legallyAnd, just what constitutes the conversion having been done legally?Exactly?That's the crux of the question.Ed _________________________________________________________________ Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging.
