Larry Note: If you forward this email, please delete the forwarding history, which includes my email address. Subject: FAA proposal This is important, especially for those of you with your IA! I had heard rumors of this happening. The FAA apparently wants to put limits on current AP/IA holders. They seem to want an end to part-time, low volume IA activity. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=d12fa23e-83b5-47b9-9e 17-c50faba0e0ae& There is a docket for comments on this proposal... FAA-2010-1060. This could impact a lot of AP/IA folks as well as the aircraft owners who depend on them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
