There are MUCH more important implications for the overturning of the Chevron doctrine. But in my aviation world it's gonna be nuts. You have any idea how many hair brained homebuilt aircraft/spacecraft the FAA is keeping grounded? Cuz you're about to find out.

There was a guy who killed himself on the maiden flight of a plane he designed and built himself. It was a low wing, and he hadn't accounted for how much the wings would flex in actual flight, so both fuel lines were pinched off shortly after takeoff. Lots more of that coming soon I'm sure.

There absolutely will be people saying "Morons want to kill themselves in homemade planes? Let them!" and I'm here to remind them that things falling from the sky often fall onto other things, like houses, or schools.

And that's setting aside the fringe but pervasive folks who think the "Code of Federal Regulations" isn't regulatory because it's not "United States Code".

Can't wait for the next pandemic when expertise decisions will be made by courts, on the courts' timelines.

Most of me, incandescent rage. I literally testified before the USACE the night before. Tiny part of me, "You mean I could have maybe argued my way out of the planetary protection approval process for that project that was literally designed to crash into the moon?"

Former aviation mechanic here. Super not looking forward to what's coming. Some bullshit discount airline will get a ruling from the judge in Texas to defer C and D checks and then fly their aircraft to pieces.

I can’t imagine how many aircraft will be taken out by errant drones…

Do you mean they still have people in contraptions like that old stock footage they used to play in cheap 1970s educational documentaries about the invention of flight?

Like many Chevron doctrine questions, it really boils down to, "At what point is the FAA going to decide the cost of not enforcing its own policies exceeds the cost of being out of compliance with the Supreme Court?"
