FAA declares war on GA

Submitted
FAA employee ASI James Tupper an A&P and former IA filed a sworn affidavit with the NTSB claiming that the only way a repair station can return a part to service is on a work order.

The item was properly and fully inspected and returned to service by a reputable company. You missed the point. Parts are returned to service by yellow tags, 8130-3, log entries etc. per the FARs.
Tupper/FAA position is that only work orders can return parts to service which is contrary to the FARs and 60+ years of Industry and FAA practice. His position makes almost every pilot and mechanic guilty of flying illegally or guilty of making false entries returning aircraft to service.
Good luck finding an airplane that is legal to fly if the NTSB accepts this new FAA position.
