Aero-News Quote of the Day

“What’s happened to this important initiative over the past two years? While the rule is highly technical, and we believe the FAA has worked diligently to develop a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for public consideration, they and other federal departments and offices have failed to get this NPRM through the bureaucratic process; this will, in turn, delay issuance of a final rule. It is very disappointing that they have not found ways to comply with the law of the land, despite repeated requests by, and assistance from, industry to do so."
