the new (and complex) rules for sport pilots and light-sport
aircraft. Predictably, the past year has been very busy for the

FAA is bringing six in-house experts to operate an exhibit in the
FAA Aviation Safety Center from Monday, July 25th, through Sunday,

comments.

by FAA in five public presentations:
