If you please, I would be very much indebted to you for your kind assistance and knowledge if you care to share your information, or the source of said information.
Many Thanks

The President's Perspective in the September issue of MA says what you are saying ,Hoss. Apparently the FAA is lagging on producing an official recognition of teh AMA as a CBO, although the FAA Official Interpretation of section 336 alludes to AMA as a CBO without naming it. The allusion indirectly acknowledges the AMA policy on aircraft over 55 Lbs.
