I am posting here, because of something I read / posted over at AOPA's forum.
It seems to me that on one hand the FAA is telling us that we need to get a handle on the accident rate of E/AB or they will, while on the other are putting up road blocks to our getting training. Has anyone ever heard of any organization actively lobbying the FAA to waive the essential crew restrictions during Phase I for some transition training?
It would make sense to me to be able to have a test pilot / CFI fly with me for the first 10-20 hours to not only run the plane through it's paces together, but to also gain some valuable experience flying my particular aircraft at the same time.
I am still at least another year from my first flight , and may be way off base here. What do you guys think?
