[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1781189, member: 106647"] you don't get a "anything that happens while on this plane isn't our fault" disclaimer. I'm sure that companies have a review process for the next edition of the manuals and realistically lets say you are using a Sierra manual. The current printed revision is the 6th, this manual has been in print since sometime around 1970 I think which means approximately a new edition every 10 years. Rapidly means the next revision, one typo isn't enough for that change. Recently I have been working with a component OEM to correct some dimensions in some technical documentation. This have been about 2 years to get to the point we are at where it will be approximately another 3 months before the corrected documentation is sent to the airframe OEM for approval (3 to 12 months) before it goes to the FAA/EASA for their approval (another 3 to 12 months) and after that the changes will show in the technical documentation. these are not documents for painting a logo or any B.S. like that, these are dimensions used to certify a part as airworthy... I'm constantly astounded by the abundance of errors in almost everything technical I read, be it work or hobby. If you still get upset about it you need to keep reading until you reach the point where you give up on trusting anyone's information that you haven't personally cross checked. [/QUOTE]
