Barry,
Thanks for posting that. I hadn't heard anything about it anywhere else.
I especially like the part where the rule wouldn't apply to FAA
inspectors get a free pass to keep their IAs, and they get to decide
who's "part time" and who isn't. Yikes.

Hi,
The FAA is trying to change the definition of "actively engaged" IA's.
Basically they want to pare down the number because of cuts in FAA
staffing means they can't monitor them as well as they would like.
The basic premise is that they want IA's to be employed full time to
keep the rating. This could potentially eliminate a great number of
part time IA's or retirees that only work on a few airplanes. Here's
the link to the Federal Register:
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-27834.htm
Please distribute to all EAA members, and any other pilots/groups you
might be affiliated with. The date for comments to be in is December
6th - not too far away. They want to put it into effect before March
31st when all IA's come up for renewal. Please comment against this
change!!!
Thanks!
