It's time to make flying cheaper:Support Sport PIlot changes

Its time to take a stand and get the Sport Pilot flying time rule changed

National aviation groups are pondering how to attract new pilot starts and are luring existing pilots back into flying to counter the dwindling pilot population.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association recently came up with an idea to support flying clubs nationwide. While the clubs would initially cut the cost of flying by already licensed pilots, it may do nothing to attract new pilots needing flight instruction. Nothing yet has come from AOPA on the issue of reducing the cost of professional flight training.

However, where there is a will, there is a way.

AOPA and EAA are lacking the vision to once again approach the FAA to change the validity of sport aviation instruction time by Sport Pilot Instructors, or
Sport Pilot Instructor Examiners to qualify for time toward a Private or Commercial license.

Isn't flying a plane by yourself valid flying time...? If you have ideas on this join in the conversation. For background check out my story "Let's Fix Sport Pilot..."
