You do read it correctly, but until now any commercial pilot could (and
did)
fly sightseeing flights. Now you will have to register as a type of
airline
(an air tour operator), which will increase costs enormously and make
flightseeing almost impossibly expensive. Those biplane rides you used to
be
able to get at airports you visit would be gone. Forever. Hiring a CFI to
show you around the local area would be gone. No more flights on the
Tri-Motor or Aluminum Overcast.

The only flightseeing would be expensive rides on organized trips in
airplanes like the Caravan. Nothing else would be cost effective.

Ack! What might this do to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome?
