This just popped up on my radar.  I hadn't heard anything about it.



http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-27834.htm



To summarize, A&Ps with an Inspection Authorization (IA) currently

have to be "actively engaged" in the industry to be eligible to renew

their ticket.  This proposal would redefine "actively engaged" as

full time employment.  Otherwise, you get to have your status

evaluated by an FAA inspector who then decides if you are sufficiently

engaged.



And, since FAA inspectors aren't "actively engaged", they get to

automatically keep their IAs to use when no longer employed by FAA.



Pass this on to any IAs you know.  The comment period closes December 6th.

Dave - thanks for letting us know about this - I sent the following to the FAA.

 

I object to the actively engaged provisions of this clarifying definition. While I fly an experimental aircraft and do my own inspections, I formerly owned a certified aircraft and may again in the future. This proposal (if implemented) would make it more difficult and expensive to obtain an IA sign-off on an annual inspection. Many retired or semi-retired IA's can do a very competent job of "annualing" a certified aircraft. To summarily kick these people out of the aviation community by pulling their authorization would be doing aviation a great disservice. I see no safety benefit in this proposal.

Short and sweet and to the point.  I'll copy what you said and sent in the same.
