The FAA will hold a public hearing on its proposed Part 23 revisions today and tomorrow in College Park, Georgia. On the eve of the event, a coalition of general aviation groups sent a letter (PDF) to the FAA urging them to work swiftly and implement the revised rule by the end of this year. "The importance of this effort … to assure a brighter future for the general aviation community … cannot be overstated," the groups said. "The FAA must work swiftly to implement the changes being proposed in as short a timeframe as possible … This must be an absolute priority for the FAA."Leaders of nine groups signed the letter, including GAMA, AOPA, EAA, HAI, NATA and NBAA.The FAA said the purpose of the public meeting is to discuss the NPRM, hear the public's questions, address any confusion and obtain information relevant to the final rule under consideration.
