From 2017 (YouTube Version): Canadian Pilots Open Up To Aero-News At AirVenture…

Canada has had a privatized Air Traffic Control System for some time. With the debate raging over privatization in the US, Aero-News stringer Maxine Scheer caught up with some Canadian GA pilots at AirVenture to ask them what it was like to fly under such a system.

EAA absolutely supports the safe integration of UAS into the airspace, but general aviation will not foot the bill for these commercial interests from a safety, access, or cost standpoint.” Source: Sean Elliott, EAA vice president of advocacy and safety, discussing the EAA reraction to a recent public meeting on an Advisory and Rulemaking Committee (ARC) final report that provides re
