That's the $64,000 question! And if I read it correctly, unlike the NPRM process, the FAA has no authority over what those standards are but they can obviously enfluence them as I noted above. We may not find out until the AMA tells us about any changes to what we are currently doing. Best case, nothing changes but I fear that is not the case.

Since this restriction on the FAA has been in the conference committee's proposed language of the final bill for over a year, everyone involved in the NPRM process and establishing these standards, had known about it for a long time. Interesting that the name "community standards" used by the FAA in the NPRM is the same name used in the legislation that restricts the FAA. I suspect the outcome of "negoiations" between the FAA and the AMA was virtually baked and out of the oven many months ago.

IMO, in the end, for jet flyers in particular, the FAA will "enfluence" what the standards are for our jet activities and once adopted by the AMA, they will have virtually the same authority as if they were FAA regulations.
