When the FAA refused to hold face-to-face public meetings with
pilots and businesses that will be hurt by a proposed
charity/sightseeing rule, AOPA vowed to make sure pilots would be
heard — by Congress if not by the FAA. With the help of the
chairman of a House Small Business subcommittee, AOPA is making
good on that pledge. Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO), an AOPA member, wants
to hear directly from pilots about what the proposed rule will do
to their business.
