Following my reading of the ARC final report published by the FAA. I
sent off an e-mail to several addresses within the EAA, similar to the
one I posted on this forum. My objective was to voice my disappointment
with how I perceived I had been represented in this effort. I'm happy to
report that today, I've been in receipt of several encouraging e-mails
from Earl Lawrence the EAA's regulatory affairs officer. Earl was the
EAA rep on the committee and along with Van one of the co-chairs .
Through this dialog he has shared considerable additional information
and insight from the proceedings and most importantly has indicated a
pending EAA communications program/campaign which will address (but not
be limited to) the following 3 questions:
1. What the EAA proposed to the FAA as a co chair of the ARC ?
2. What is the EAA's position wrt Commercial Builders and the impact
they are having on our sport/hobby?
3. What the EAA recommends Amateur Builders do to continue to support
and lobby for our existing rights to continue to build, fly, and
maintain our aircraft ?
I'm encouraged that the EAA does in fact plan an active role in this
effort. And that they will involve the membership in the same.
Through this brief process, I've also learned / formed some additional
opinions that have given me cause to _increase_ my concern that the FAA
_might_ act in a way that could limit or restrict our existing
capabilities. (Yes, that means RV-10 builders) And as a result I'm
reminded that keeping silent and hoping for a favorable outcome is not
the best course. I simply care _too_ much about what I'm doing. As this
issues moves forward I would encourage each of you to find a way to
voice or record you desires. My experience in having the EAA hear my
voice was encouraging and rewarding.
