I was a professional pilot for years until I got sick and also did all sorts of work with getting FAA stuff approved, and I even have a float rating as well. The FAA certification is going to be a bastard here, for sure.
I think it can be done, but I am pretty sure the feds still classify WIG aircraft as aircraft, which means it will be a major challenge to get all the new technologies certified. All it takes is money…
Still, I would absolutely have loved stuff like this when k was working in SE Ak. This could dominate those markets. And you don’t really need for it to be instrument flying if it can never get that high…
