I'm a private pilot. I built a Van's RV-9A and have the Repairman Certificate for my airplane. Retired a few years ago (computer engineer) and went to a Part 147 School to get my A&P. Five semesters of full time night school. I just got the A&P in August 2023 under the new ACS. You are very correct in saying that A&P's don't get any LSA training. I got zero LSA related training. Also didn't get any advanced avionics or electronics training. The ACS for Mechanics is very much tied to ancient (>50 year old) technologies. I will probably never work on a turbine, but I had to learn all about them for the A&P rating. Same with pressurization systems. I would greatly support your proposal for additional "type" ratings for engines, advanced avionics, electric propulsion, and vertical lift. The proposal for an online add-on to the A&P for LSA related knowledge areas makes a lot of sense.
LSRM-A here. Thank you for your efforts in creating this content and sharing it with our community. Hopefully we will provide enough clear and uniform feedback to the FAA to help them better understand our sector of aviation and what changes will be best for its future.
Folks… some good information here… and it’s obvious that you are concerned and passionate. Respectfully though, this was difficult to watch. Instead of concise sharing of information, it came off as rambling and verbose, and occasionally almost angry. Too many long winded examples used means you don’t think your audience is smart enough to understand and needs stories and pictures. I really struggled to get through it and resorted numerous times to blipping ahead. The tension in the gentleman’s voice belayed what seems more like a fear for your training program, then constructive suggestions. Don’t get me wrong… I believe I agree with you. But it was difficult to get there! I would suggest a much shorter, concise video wherein you summarize issues, potential impacts, and your recommendations into a 15 - 20 (at most!) minute video. Start linking that to various social media pilots groups for better outreach. Respectfully.
You can make more than one comment on the proposal. I did and they both posted. I have read all the comments on the proposal and there seems to be concensus on 1. Increase stall speed 2. Removed medical for night flight 3. Repairmen regulations need clarification
Very thoughtful review of the defects with MOSAIC proposal as it affects LS maintenance. The information you presented has given me good reason to comment on the NPRM. Looking forward to the next two videos. Thank you!
I really appreciate the effort you all put into this and then sharing. I'm very interested in LSRM for simple, certificated A/C. I think the "add-on", endorsement and web based training (where appropriate) are the better answer as you discussed. THANKS!
I agree whole heartedly with your opinions regarding the repairman training. I plan to submit a comment about it. However, there are other items in the NPRM that I also want to comment on. My question is can I comment on more than one section of the NPRM ( for example repairman training, night flight and passengers) in one comment or should I make a separate comment for each item? Thank you.

Thanks for still being the Geniuses in the room.

What a great session. Hope to be in the class soon. Thanks
Thank you for doing this explanation video. Mad props
