'Unacceptable To EAA And The Rest Of The General Aviation Community, Says The Organization'
Despite the fact that Oshkosh is now done and that the FAA Administrator made some banal statements mollifying recent misguided decisions about flight training, EAA is asking its members to rally and provide a unified voice with our elected officials. Earlier this year, a federal court determined that compensated flight instruction in experimental, limited, and primary category aircraft, even instruction obtained in an individual’s own aircraft, was contrary to FAA regulation. While the FAA has used letters of deviation authority (LODAs) and exemptions to temporarily address the issue, a long-term fix is years away under the normal rulemaking process.
