Default FAA proposed policy affecting RV-12?

http://www.psfmagazine.com/2014/03/m...ed-faa-policy/


Did not get to read it in depth. Will this affect SLSA ONLY or will ELSA be affected as well?

This new proposal is chock full of errors and problems. I wouldn't put in too much worry at this point.

This Proposal is very confusing
I read it and can't understand what it will effect.
In your opinion will this have any effect on EAB with a Light Sport Pilot and or a VFR Pilot.

I am a VFR Pilot and concerned about my age and how long I will be able to pass a 3rd class medical.

I sold my RV10 I was building and I am now building a 12 for this reason

I've talked to several people supposedly "in the know" and no one seems to understand any of it. It is extremely confusing and contradicts itself in many places.

Eight years ago, the FAA was giving a keynote speech at an aviation convention. Subject of the speech was Alaska and the ADS-B Initiative. The speaker presented the FAA goals in Alaska for that year. One of the goals was to increase by 4% the number of pilots with licenses, from 48% to 52% of the pilot population.

One can probably compare Class G and Class E airspace to Alaska, and make the connection to the proposed Pilot Protection Act working its way through Congress. The question becomes does the FAA really need to be that involved with recreational VFR daytime flight in this day of austere budgets?

Default Typical of the Government.

Typical of the Government.

How about putting out a document in plain English explaining what the problem is and possible solutions for discussion.

Remember, this is a first draft type document. There will be LOTS of fixing and tweaking before anything goes into effect.
