Aero-News Quote of the Day

"That is why we are backing the Certainty for General Aviation Pilots Act to quickly address the issue. With the help of EAA, twin bills have been introduced in the Senate and House that would require the FAA to recognize flight training and the Additional Pilot Program for homebuilt flight testing as permitted activities not requiring any special authorization. The Senate bill is S.2458, introduced by Senators James Inhofe (R-OK), John Boozman (R-AR), and Angus King (I-ME), and the House bill is H.R.4645, introduced by Representative Sam Graves (R-MO)."

Source: From a statement by EAA to its members, and the rest of the Sport and GA community, asking them to reach out to their elected officials to find a solution for atrocious recent FAA decision-making affecting the ability of flight instructors to undertake activities that would promote aviation safety.
