Two lines from a poem about tenacity are fundamental to ARSA's interactions with governments: 'Genius, that power which dazzles mortal eyes, / Is oft but perseverance in disguise.' The original author is subject to debate, but the principle is clear: Perseverance often pays off in regulatory compliance. It took five years for the FAA to acknowledge that approved technical data did not require reapproval during maintenance. Equal persistence resulted in the issuance of advisory circulars on maintenance fabrication and repair and alteration data.
