Aero-News Quote of the Day

"This proposal represents a significant regulatory change in the conduct of private aircraft operations. We believe that the 60-day comment period is insufficient in order to provide TSA with answers to the substantial number of questions posed in the proposal and to provide sufficient time for community education and feedback... We believe TSA will benefit substantially by a 60-day extension to the comment period and the use of public meetings."
