USUA received a phone call at 10AM EST from Sue Gardner of FAA
informing us
that late yesterday afternoon, the Secretary of the Department of
Transportation has signed off on the proposed Sport Pilot/Light Sport
Aircraft Rule. It now goes to the Office ofManagement and Budget, the
final
step in the rulemaking process. OMB is expected to use their allotted
90
days to evaluate the rule and act accordingly. If all goes well, and
there
is little to expect otherwise, we may see SP/LSA sometime after April
2004.
"USUA
members who have not yet registered as ultralight pilots, are
encouraged to
do so immediately so that the special provisions allowed to persons
holding
this registration may be taken advantage of."
encourages all members to visit www.usua.org for any and all news and
announcements.
Region 7 Rep.
