Aero-News Quote of the Day

“This in no way is an acceptable long-term fix for the serious safety problem that FAA and the courts have created, but the FAA flight standards team worked hard to create a solution for Limited Category aircraft through this exemption. As an advocacy organization that both routinely operates Limited Category aircraft and maintains strong relationships with key FAA personnel, we were able to quickly apply for relief that covers the entire community.”
