I did a quick look through in this forum and didn't see anything on this being discussed. So, if it has, my apologuises.

I've been reading where some think this will be another (final?) coffin nail for the SP/LSA industry. To me, it would seem to allow them to expand even further. I guess I'm just dense, because I just don't see a downside here in any aspect.

I'm not trying to ignite any firestorms with this post. I haven't got to fly since 1988. I couldn't afford it. Things are just now looking to where I can now start to entertain the possibility of getting back and now I'm playing "catch-up". I think it would be a good thing for me in light of my age. Could anyone here explain what the impact of this ruling would have on us as a whole? Thanks.

Here's an AOPA article on it:
