Here’s a report that will have general aviation pilots shaking their heads in disbelief.

During a media event in Farmingdale, New York on Monday, Senator Charles Schumer called on the FAA to step up ramp checks of small airplanes, which he says might prevent accidents. According to the Senator, the number of ramp checks on GA aircraft in New York has fallen over the past 10 years. And, he says as the number of inspections has declined, "Long Island has been plagued with a series of small airplane crashes." Cessna Pilot Centers’ are using of the latest technology to give pilots convenient access to their online courses on an iPad even when they are offline. The Cessna pilot center Companion app, which is a free download from the Apple App Store, allows pilots to download lessons from their courses to their iPad. An attorney who has analyzed the new FAA rules regarding unmanned aircraft says the new UAS rules may have an adverse effect on the model airplane industry and model airplane flyers. Writing on the Drone Law Journal online, Loretta Alkalay says that the FAA has added recreational UAV flying to Part 101 of the FARs which already governs tethered balloons unmanned rockets, kites, and similar aircraft. In other words, Alkalay says, a hobby flyer who does not meet the requirements for Part 101 would be assumed to be operating under Part 107, and failure to meet the requirements of Part 107, could result in penalties being imposed by the FAA. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
