> If the Cessna 172 was invented today, the FAA would never allow it to carry passengers...

Don't let them know about the Experimental-Amateur Built category where anyone can build an airplane in their garage and a licensed pilot can go fly it with very limited FAA oversight of the construction...


It’s not like there are no rules to follow: http://www.faa-aircraft-certification.com/amateur-built-oper...
