As many of you know, EAA and AOPA have petitioned the FAA to allow pilots to fly aircraft up to 180 HP and with only one passenger without an FAA Medical. Many of us in the industry have been waiting anxiously to see what the FAA would do. While there is still no answer, here is a link to a recent video where Craig Fuller explains the latest news. While he is somewhat pessimistic that the FAA will rule on the proposal anytime soon, he seems to have some further approaches to try if nothing is forthcoming soon. I certainly support the proposal and hope that the FAA will rule favorably.
