Speed of implementation?

There is stuff in there proposed 1998 and the ELT stuff was proposed
in 2006.


The time period within which a proposal is placed before the public for
consideration is distinct from the grace period between when a regulation
is announced and when it becomes effective. I'm not sure why you think
there should be a correlation.


The point is that there has been at least 4 years for people to point out
the problems with the proposal and fix the final rule.

Nobody did until the final rule was announced.

The bottom line here is everyone in aviation, including the so called
aviation news sources, dropped the ball by paying no attention what so
ever to proposed FCC regulations effecting aviation.

At least a few people are paying attention to what the EPA is doing which
could mean the end of 100LL.

Aviation is effected by the rules of more than the FAA.
