mcoates,
Having now read the AvWeb article, and the Pelton statement, I agree with the writer of the AvWeb article, this ain't going to happen anytime soon.
Indeed, have FAA been recruiting from CASA AU?? On the face of it, over a considerable AUW weight range overlap, you would apparently have two different certification standards (but both consensus "like" standards) with quite different limitations on the use of the resulting aircraft, and the licenses needed to fly and maintains them?? The existing and very new FAR 23 and whatever is proposed here??
So we see the (first) NPRM in 1919 some time? Yet you say it could be this week??
Tootle pip!!
