All of that stuff is qual tested, most all of the systems have modern (lighter) equivelents.

Did you just say "lighter?"

Uh-oh. Weight and balance issues. Even MORE testing.

And to say EVERYTHING would need new qual tests isn't quite true.

If you're intending to man-rate the sucker, it will.

CG is purely analysis. It's just a spread sheet...a big one in this case, but still simple accounting.

Actually, almost everything already is qual tested. Really, they are just talking about QC testing on new vendors production lines. They would have to do that no matter what they built.
