One of the most significant recent policy changes by the FAA was mentioned only in passing on July 23 during FAA Administrator Michael Huerta’s Meet the Administrator forum at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. Although the FAA published the new policy, effective June 26, before the show, Huerta highlighted it only in response to a question from an audience member who wanted to know why his mechanic had to spend so much time worrying about complying with complex regulations and not “doing the right thing” when maintaining his airplane.
