QuiQue Yak

Randy:
There's really no approved list for IMAC, not one that anyone seriously 
tries to keep updated anyway.  You have to apply their 10% deviation rule 
and see if it fits within that..  There's a little more to it than that for 
2005, such as (paraphrasing here) burden of proof of scale is the pilots 
responsibility, but it looks convincing from the ads anyway.  You would 
basically have to check it against the 10% rule.
