Very good analysis of the FAA certification timeline. Another factor is the availability of FAA staff, which is still in a shortage state, combined with the reduced headcount of existing DERs, down from over 3000 to about 800 today, with some disciplines with very small numbers of delegates period. Then as one can easily witness even with certified aircraft and rotorcraft if there are any problems during any phase, even after certification, there could be delays. Many applicants will face issue papers before they ever get certified.
