as do I because I'm the type club representative to the AACS for the
1-26 Association. As a party to the AACS, I can see pre-NPRM issues for
all GA types, including gliders, towplanes, Malibus, etc.

The AACS process affords interested parties an opportunity to
participate in the AD rulemaking in advance of the AD NPRM process.

The AOPA is a key player and facilitator in the AACS.

If the SSA is in fact being notified by the Feds about pending ADs
which will impact SSA membership, why have they not gotten the word out
in some form or another? Or, giving them the benifit of the doubt,
have they?
