Affected parties are owners/operators of large GA airplanes ( 12,500#
gross wt), of which there are roughly 9000 in US. The TSA's own
estimate is that these regs will cost those 9000 owners about $1.4
Billion over ten years. Among other things, TSA wants to screen pax
for private GA flight. Only on large GA aircraft... for now.
This is a news item in EAA mag this month, I'm sure it's on the radar
at AOPA as well. Passing along for the benefit of the soaring
community.
