Actually I'm OK with the new requirement, even if they just pulled it out of their butts. I don't see it being a big deal either way safety wise...although I suppose it might be nice to have an MEI on board if the student tries to get too slow on a SE approach.
But I don't think the FAA could enforce this until they get the word out...they need to do a new AC and of course get their flight standards people on board.
