From a pilot medical perspective, it's great news.

From a maintenance perspective, I'm not so convinced. RAAus aircraft have a rather dubious history. L2's are often not very well trained. Some have a very poor grasp of what is required from a legal minimum. Many of the manufactures requirements are not adhered to.. Logbooks are not filled out or if they are you will find "service carried out". No mention of lifed components or service bulletins. Most owners are just as ignorant of what is required to keep them safe. Leave the maintenance up to professionals
