All I see on the first page is a vague comment about "a group within the FAA" that's rewriting the small airplane regulations.
Which group specifically?Evidently there is an FAA group rewriting the small aircraft laws.
Then you make a comment that sounds like you don't know who is behind it:
You also claim to have just randomly found it on a message board:Great Job EAA!!!!!!!!!! (or whomever is doing this!!!)
Which one?I saw this on another message board – after reading it I am really excited and had to post it! I attached the file to this post, hopefully it works.
....or was it a mailing list?
Better yet, how did you learn of this before any of the major alphabet organizations did?Being new here I am not sure if I am doing it right. Unfortunately I can;t point you to a webpage because this actually came off a Beech mail list I am on
I call BS on this until we're given some actual information and not just the runaround by someone whose story seems to shift considerably each time he "answers" the question.
Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

Wow Steve - you sure know how to make friends. You seem to insult people all across these boards - maybe you should find a new hobby where being nice to people is not required.
That being said, I don't think that the Beechboy knows where this came from beyond the message board he got it from. However, owner MX was a subject on the agenda at the last ARC meeting. EAA and AOPA government relations, NATCA and whole host of type clubs are aware of it and discussing it. Whether or not they are in favor of it, I will let them speak for themselves.
Now Steve - go take a Dale Carnegie class... Beechboy I sent you a private message, please contact me.
You call it insulting people. I call it being honest and not blowing smoke just to avoid ruffling feathers. The problem is that with the lack of tone of voice inherent in internet forums what is said one way (bluntly) comes across as a totally separate one when it's said in person or on the phone.You seem to insult people all across these boards -
Last time I checked aviation didn't require being all sunshine and rainbows to people either. I mean there are a lot of very successful people in the ranks of aviation who make me seem like Mahatma Gandhi.maybe you should find a new hobby where being nice to people is not required.
I call it like I see it. There's no stipulation that I have to kiss the butt of everyone I cross paths with. If you seriously think I've got an attitude problem beyond just a low tolerance for indecisiveness and possible BS coupled with a means of communication that makes it difficult at times to interpret intent, then I guess you've got a problem and well....no offense but deal with it until July and we can sort it out over a beer or something. I'll be bringing a couple of cases since I think I've offered a bottle to just about everyone on here at one time or another. There are a lot of folks on this forum that I originally thought were abrasive or prickly (Hi Frank!) until I got a chance to talk to them.Now Steve - go take a Dale Carnegie class.
Well, then he needed to say that. When he gives conflicting stories about something that no one seemed quite sure of who wrote the "proposal" we were presented with, it makes it seem as though the source (in this case "Beechboy") may be feeding us a line. Even if he had just said "Well, I found it over on AOPA forums/PoA/Purple Board/etc...." it would have been much simpler and reliable than a vague non-committal answer that appeared to change several times.I don't think that the Beechboy knows where this came from beyond the message board he got it from.
That said, if that came across as excessively harsh, my apologies. My point was just to get to the bottom of where this came from and to point out that Beech hadn't really answered my question like he thought he had. That said, now that the origins/implications of the document have been ascertained, Beech, my apologies for being so freaking harsh. Sometimes that "in G-d we trust, everyone else bring ****ing data" mantra that I've had drilled into my head during my tenure in research tends to get the better of me.

Everyone else,
Based on the style and format this is likely a draft from a rules making committee. This may have come from industry, one of the alphabet groups, or FAA. There is no way to tell for sure. The call to action is to 1). read the proposal. 2). if you are an owner / operator of a certified aircraft and you believe this proposal to be beneficial lend your support.
Thank-you.

A&P still has to annual it though.
I am skeptical as the goverment rarely does anything without a long term hidden agenda.
