A thread for NAR,TRA, NAR S&T, TRA/NAR flyer members, and manufacturers to discuss openly in a vague non NDA or proprietary breaking manner with forum members "if they choose too" on ways to access independent lab equipment or the possibilities of official oversight at multiple locations with more manpower to certify motors quicker with assistance from the TRA/NAR community members or other suggestions of process improvements. I know nothing of the certification process of new motors. I applaud NAR and TRA for the amount of certified motors already existing. The more certified motors the organizations get, the larger the hobby will grow, and the manufacturers will benefit from more products to sell. Please do not rant of how long motor X is taking to certify. Flyers don't want motor X's fuel composition, that info belongs to the manufacturer only. If people have testing sites for motors with timeslots for NAR S&T or other motor certification groups to use for testing for non profit use at certain locations, time, or date please post. If someone wanted to certify an Ex Motor how would they go about doing it process wise officially? Are there additional steps to improve the delay times? Is there an online database to manage the allocation of testing sites for manufacturers? What can forum members due to help TRA/NAR/NAR S&T improve certification times for motors? Anyways, just a noob sticking into a sticky topic about something I know nothing about, not trying to start a bad route or bashing thread.
If the certification groups and rocketry organizations want to explain to flyers and motor manufacturers what additional resources or support steps are needed to certify motors faster, please speak out and inform the community.
