Aero-News: Quote of the Day
ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news,
though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have
a bearing on the day's events and issues.
Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if
particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become
future Quotes of the Day.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"It is encouraging to hear that EAA has a commitment
from the FAA to revisit the new LODA policy if it doesn't work, but
it's unclear what the definition of "work" will be, or whether it
will take another three years for the next step. The first few
reports from instructors on wait times for handling of LODA
applications will shape an expectation of how long the biennial
renewals might take. It might be wise for would-be pilots in
general aviation's true entry level, the low-and-slow
experimentals, to get training while you can. While you're at it,
get at least a Sport Pilot rating in a traditional airplane,
because it could one day be the only way to get a flight review and
stay legal to fly your PPC, trike or gyro."
