EAA has been sending around information about this.
We'll have to see how it shakes out when the dust
settles. I've not lost my cynicism about the
cupidity and venality of aviation bureaucrats everywhere.
Lately with their R/C model and drone
registration, FAA seems to be competing with CASA
for world's most stupid aviation regulator.

Not quite that simple.
The legislation stipulates a âdefaultâ
regulatory stance thatâll be adopted if the
FAA doesnât promulgate alternative overriding
regulations that take effect within two years from now.
From this time next year, pilots who fly on the
assumption that they never will (i.e., fly on a
lapsed medical using a drivers license as
evidence of medical fitness) cannot be prosecuted.
FAA can still, theoretically, define and issue
regulations which continue to require medical
standards similar to what are in force now. Once
those hypothetical regulations take effect,
theyâll override the fallback position in the legislation signed last week.
Whether FAA will or not depends on how
obstructive and control-freaky theyâll get. I
suspect they wonât bother, the time for this has well and truly arrived.
Wonder if a CASA Special Pilot Licence based
on an FAA Private will remain valid.
Why wouldnât it?
