I read a third of the 308 pages. Apparently the FAA thinks only pilots with recreational licenses fly Light Sport. I could be wrong but, I don’t think that’s the case.

A lot to get through.
Tecnam will have a quandary: update weights for the U.S. to at least the European standards, update weights for the U.S. for specific aircraft that reflect their design capabilities, such as the P2008 with a 914 engine, or do nothing for existing aircraft. This will allow them to introduce new models that we will (hopefully in their view) decide to buy.
That will make our existing airplanes less valuable (?)
I’m curious on the thoughts of everyone else.

I know Vashon, Montaer, Jabiru and others have been very vocal that they'll be sending out a piece of paper with an updated weight as soon as the rule change passes. I would hope and expect Tecnam to do the same.

Ed They used the word "recreational" a lot. But it was meant to describe intended use, not the actual certification. The only place I found where they discussed the Recreational Pilot Cert is where they cited data for comparison regarding the extension of privileges to include aircraft with 4 seats. |
