Aero-Heartbreakers: Agency Blocking Instruction for LSA and
Gyroplane Pilots
In speaking appearances during his first full year at the helm,
FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt tried in 2010 to sell the idea that
the agency is, for its size and mission, responsive, efficient, and
as light on the controls as its safety mandate allows. In rooms
filled mostly with operators of aircraft with standard
airworthiness certificates, that line sold pretty well. But for
pilots of experimental aircraft, especially the small ones which
are general aviation's entry level, Babbitt's comments were very
dark comedy.
