I鈥檓 aiming to keep this relatively free of politics, and hopefully focused on likely outcomes.
I鈥檓 passingly familiar with the Federal rule making process. I know the proposed rule in question has been through at least one public comment period, etc.
Given that the inauguration will be prior to the 2025Q1 expected final rule dates I鈥檝e seen from various sources, I鈥檓 curious what the collective community thinks is likely to happen with the final rule.
If the proposed rule is likely to be issued as expected, I may delay starting training until that point - I read the proposed rule as opening up a wide variety of additional aircraft under LSA and it may benefit me to start in one of those additional allowed a/c.
If it will be tied up as an unknown for months or years, then starting under the current rules makes sense to me.
