A rapid response by the general aviation community on Tuesday made a big difference in helping to eliminate a dangerous amendment to an FAA reauthorization bill in the House of Representatives.
Supporters of ATC privatization attempted to slip a provision into the House’s FAA reauthorization bill that would set the stage for airline domination of the ATC system. EAA members and others swiftly responded to a call for action and urged to contact their congressional representatives to oppose the plan. The NAA has announced that U.S. Indoor Skydiving has been named as the designated air sport organization (ASO) for the purposes of official FAI competitions and record attempts in the sport of indoor skydiving. U.S. Indoor Skydiving becomes the seventh recognized American ASO, along with the Academy of Model Aeronautics, Balloon Federation of America, International Aerobatic Club, Soaring Society of America, U.S. Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association and the U.S. Parachute Association.
