It is time for us to act in support of the General Aviation Pilot Protection Act (GAPPA). Send a customizable message with the EAA’s Rally Congress tool, or you can write, call, or email your Congressional delegation today and ask for their co-sponsorship and support. This legislation would apply medical certification standards similar to the decade-old and successful Sport Pilot rule to most general aviation aircraft when flown for personal flights under visual flight rules at or below 14,000 feet MSL and under 250 knots. The bill is designated S. 2103 in the Senate and H.R. 3708 in the House of Representatives, introduced by Senator John Boozman and Representative Todd Rokita, respectively.

Saturday Flyout
The RVators have a flyout on March 15th:
“Next weekend is the annual Ice Cream social event at Inyokern. This is a big RV event and they are expecting over 40 RVs from So Cal. This should be a blast! So far we have 5 planes from our group headed down – we plan on having a late Breakfast in Porterville and then flying over as a group. If you are coming from the Reno area we will meet you there. It starts at 11:00 and goes until 14:00. If you would like to go let Mike Brewton know and he’ll tell Axel so they have enough Ice Cream. The weather is supposed to be nice next weekend and we really hope for a good turnout from the Nor Cal Group! Hope to see you there!”
