It still seems to me that the FAA has to have some baseline set of operational limits. Then a CBO can present their own standards for review and hopeful acceptance by the FAA which will grant more liberal operational limits. But the FAA has to proceed as if there are no CBOs and no CBO generated standards.
OMG
an amazing thing happened when I said that over at the AMA board
To be accurate what you were posting on the AMA board was questioning if the AMA was a CBO, not if there were no CBO standards. I know you wanted to make it seem like they were the same thing but they are not. Regardless of whether or not their standards get accepted by the FAA, the AMA is still considered a CBO.
An you worry about me keeping track of YOUR posts. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black, don't ya think
