Interesting proposal from EAA for an alternative approval process for S-LSA:
In comments to a recent change to FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 90-114A, EAA proposed a way to leverage existing regulation to empower the Chicago Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) to approve alterations to S-LSA aircraft. The proposal would allow the ACO to evaluate changes on a case-by-case basis. The traditional system of manufacturer-approved alterations in S-LSA would also remain unaltered.

I like the idea of have two paths for approval and wonder, if approved, whether this may blaze a trail for other avionics.
