Silent-AV8R,
I agree with your comments and share your hopes. My experience with the FAA is that they don’t typically issue NPRM’s on the timeline they initially propose. It almost always slips. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a year or more later than what they say now. In any event whether the NPRM is issued in 2Q, 2010, or later we should be proactive. As I previously stated AMA should have a public campaign to raise awareness of avoiding conflicts with manned aircraft. They could kick that off immediately don’t wait for the FAA. We should also know all the details of every collision that has occurred in the past and analyze the causes so we can propose fact based solutions.
