bye bye 91 scenics??

[fr0g]

I just saw that the feds have posted a NPRM that would make part 91 scenic flights illegal. Anyone have any info on this?? What on earth are they thinking?? "Let's hit GA some more after it has had some of the worst times ever". They openly admit it would put over 700 flight operations out of business. <bashes head against table>

Thank God for AOPA. I'm sure they will fight this as hard or harder than they fought for Meigs.

 

[fr0g]

no kidding, I sure hope we can get rid of this stupid piece of legislation..

Didn't they plow Meigs under anyway? Whats the current state of that Daley Debacle?

 

[Flying Illini]

I don't think Meigs is coming back. If it was AOPA would have made sure we all knew they won. As underhanded as it was, I think Daley was within the limits of the law. THAT's the type of stuff that just pisses ya off. It would be great to prove the importance of that airport...hmmm, if we could all experience an emergency right in the vicinity of that airport....the taxiway is still open...see where I'm going with this?! Or GA could just clog MDW and ORD. Daley's a jerk. There I vented.

 

[Loafman]

Nah, the runways at MDW are too short for most GA airplanes...

Scenic Soaring operations

Will this mean scenic soaring operators will have to get 135 air carrier certificates to operate?

I only got to read over it quickly one day, but that's the way it sounded to me. That could be devastating to small operators. If someone has a rational explanation for this, please spell it out for me. Why would the FAA do this? The accident reports didn't seem reason enough to go this far.
