I've seen very little mention of this in the standard aviation news sources, but I may just have missed it.

ACTING FAA ADMINISTRATOR CONFIRMS THAT PART 23 ARC IS GOING TO PROPOSE NEW, CREATIVE AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION PROCESS

If this is what I think is being proposed this could be one of the most significant changes for aviation here in the US since the CAA turned into the FAA. It looks to me like this could be the aviation equivalent of a constitutional convention. The ASTM F-44 standards committee is in place and we are going to be having several organizational meetings over the next few weeks.

I'm not in a position, either time wise or financially, to attend the semi annual meetings but I expect to be able to find the time to participate as actively as I have for the LSA F-37 committee. I will of course pass on any information that I think this group may find relevant as this committee develops. Right now there are exactly 100 of us on the committee but we won't likely know until after the first meeting in Florida on Jan 10 who gets assigned voting rights on which committees.

I'd like to hear any comments anyone may have about this proposed NPRM AND any information that anyone may have to offer.
