I reviewed that a year ago and hadn't found any updates. Checked again today and I see the ARC that was formed released a final report in June 2013:

346 pages - have not had a chance to even skim it since I just found it.

WOOO-HOOO!!!!! Read Appendix G! Primary Non Commercial Category! It's even better than I hoped as it allows a simple way to convert back to Normal Category by removing non PMA-TSO parts and can be done by any IA. Rock on, this means cheap glass and auto pilots for our aging fleet and potential engine conversions.

That's amazing. That could bring cost of owning back to a reasonable level for many people, and could be the kick in the pants we needed to get GA going again!

Bad time to ask. No movement until the government shutdown ends.

So I'm not happy with my prop ,so I get a custom prop,the airplane goes experimental and when I want to convert back I just put the certified prop back on,with a sign off.Is that how you read it

Yep, you need an IA to sign it off though. It's non experimental though, just non commercial.

This is fantastic. I'm going to credit Henning for this. Good job Henning!

I'm looking forward to seeing the final result. Are there any plans to review part 25, 27, or 29?

Here's Flight Design's take on the most recent actions, and how it affects someone developing a new certified aircraft...

Per AvWeb, passed by House,passed by Senate, needs to go back to House where final passage is expected, then to the president. If all goes well, implementation by end of 2015.
Good job so far, Henning.

If we could get this and CDL medicals for <6,000# MGW, we might actually have to start waiting for takeoff clearances again. I'll gladly take "#4 in sequence for the runway" in exchange.
