Quit with the negative waves, man.
The way I see it, this translates to creating growth and competition. When there is something a lot of people want, and they can all afford it, it becomes simple supply and demand, and every company worth their salt will want a piece of the pie.
Like Henning touched on, with new technological advances coming out, this would make it more attainable by Joe (or Jane) Pilot. Suppose said pilot wants a glass panel and diesel in their old 182 they take the family around in, it becomes less of a pipe dream. Having the same, meticulous and knowledgeable A&P handle all the changes should have no effect on the pilot's confidence in the changes.
No question, a positive step. But far from the incrementalism we've come to expect from the FAA. Curious as to where this originated. Isn't the director of the small airplane directorate a former EAA guy?
Kudos to whomever for getting this started.
