I deal with some of these guys from time to time from 'inside the Beltway.' It is very interesting in that the whole FSDO/ACO/DER concept are almost empires unto themselves, since management in DC is technically incompetent. There isn't any consistency mainly because the program managers have no clue. It can get quite humorous when the guys from the Atlantic City Tech Center are on a conference call with management types in DC...
The bottom line, until an FAA Administrator comes along that actually spent any real time in aviation product development or GAMA pays off a lobbiest to put language into legislation and force the issue, it ain't gonna get any better.
The writing is pretty much on the wall, and why I am leaning towards building my next plane. I still want to wait and see how the whole "turbodiesel vs. pocket turbine" contest falls out.
