I dont see why the GA industry that has the porblems of the economic situation should has to train EASA empoyees to do the job of reguation!
It is all very well for you to say we should "campaign" but all that is required is a realistic interpritation of the rules, after all it is pointless to insist that an EFIS display meets airliner lightning strike standards when a a strike of that magnitude would probably destroy the light aircraft that it is fitted to!
