MY pleasure to ‘school’ everyone, Raf. As I said, this was a gigantic pet peeve of mine so I followed its gestation all along its path to implementation by Congress. How said that ‘we’ have to force the FAA to do its reasonable job that way. There’s more that I’m holding back in this public record.
I say again to all pilots … IF you can accomodate your ‘mission’ via BasicMed … you need to do it! And … I hope and pray that MOSAIC is announced in a form that is useful to raise the weight of an LSA compliant aircraft to something more usable AND safe this Airventure, too. If not, the airlines better fire up their “Ab Initio” schools pronto.
