The FAA is an agency within the DOT, under the executive branch, answerable to the legislative and judicial branches. Congress has pretty significant supervision legislatively and budgeting-wise. Presumably GABI has talked to some congressional reps. So the question is: why aren't they lighting a fire under the FAA's ass to at least follow their own regulations? This seems more than worthy of a congressional hearing. Frankly, AOPA should have demanded as much, but they're probably too worried about pissing off Lycoming and Continental. GABI also has the option to pursue redress via the courts. I don't know whether they've attempted to do so or not.
