I agree with 10540 who in their right minds would ever want to maintain a G reg in the USA?
That is the point in a Free market you make whatever you try to sell as attractive as possible to your customer so that they will not want to go to the competition.
EASA could have tackled the N reg problem by putting something attractive in place which would make flying N pointless but instead they choose to beat their pilots into submission.
People have flown N reg for decades quite legally, pilots have created a business and livelyhoods who now if this goes ahead will be severely financially damaged through no fault of their own.
Again I refer to the European Court of human rights and compensation claims?
It is interesting that AOPA refer to a Boeing Airbus battle what has that to do with the legislative process and damaging the interests of 10000 FAA licenced pilots in Europe?
IAOPA is particularly aghast at the sweeping nature of EASA’s intentions because they have nothing to do with safety. Over the decades in which the current system has pertained there have been no safety issues with oversight, with instrument flying, with maintenance or any other factor. General aviation is being sucked into a trade war involving the big beasts at Boeing and Airbus, with protectionist tactics grinding up our own GA industry in pursuit of political point-scoring
