I did the analysis for EAA, on the number of aircraft eligible vs. the final stall speed. The percentage is based on the number of single-engined fixed-wing aircraft in the registry.
Unfortunately, no one is "Confirmed" and thus "really" in charge of the FAA at this current instant of time. Be interesting to see how "Active Acting" the "Acting Administrator" may be.
The advocacy orgs have been breathlessly supplying details and dates since at least 2018 and there have been 4 acting directors and two confirmed directors in that time. The supposed commitments and lack of change are not simply a result of the current political environment. My point, in fact, has *nothing* to do with politics and *everything* to do with coverage and willful suspension of disbelief.
Given the rulemaking is an administrative process, one seldom hears from the individuals involved in that process except when collectively responding to NPRM public comments. Whether thats by design or policy I don't really know but its the norm with all the NPRMs I've tracked over the years. One of the hurdles with the MOSAIC NPRM that slowed it down was it has gone through 3 separate public comment periods which is more an exception than rule. So that additional review can add a significant amount of time in the big picture given new NPRMs are added daily. The Part 23 rewrite went through a similar delay given the importance of that rule change. And since MOSAIC has been at the NPRM level for only 20 months or so, given its review history and proposed changes to several FAR Parts I think even August is a push.
Looking back, we saw the same sort of waffling and delay for Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft. IIRC, that took about five years, and wasn't in an environment of major political upheaval (albeit there were 9/11 associated events).
Agree and my point is that this speculation contest hasn't gotten this close to a "consensus" (or dream) date for release, to wit August 2025, to date so Acting or Confirmed hasn't been of much import. If the Nominee gets Confirmed before "August", who knows what will happen. If he doesn't by "August" will the Acting release it?
I suspect id like a lot more of your posts if I was smart enough to know what the heck you are saying.
It is clear to me. A Catholic secret society is raising livestock for government retirees, and the simple explanation is they are from outer space.

Fast forward a couple months and we see that union agreements were mostly circumvented (non probationary) by disbanding entire units. This way they don’t need retention registers and other things (need them to follow the rules but not in reality, since they aren’t bringing people back. Friends of the administration trot out crazy answers like “they’ll bring back the good ones, it’d take too long to figure out who is good first” as if they aren’t still looking at substantially the same pool of people)
Who are from outer space? The Catholics, the livestock, or the government employees?
Why restrict it? I guess in a way, we're all in outer space within our air bubble.
Well played Sir!FIFY
This caught out a number of GOV workers. They moved out of the HCOL area where their office was located, but since their workplace was now in a LCOL, they lost the high locality pay.
