IN LIGHT OF the recent and short-sighted FAA directive governing flight training for compensation in certain categories of aircraft, AOPA President and CEO Mark Baker sent a strongly worded letter to FAA Administrator Stephen Dickson, asking the agency to immediately withdraw or delay the rule. Baker's letter stated: "We urge the FAA to withdraw or invoke an immediate stay of the recent 'notification of policy' for flight training in experimental, primary and limited category aircraft. This directive is simply unacceptable to the general aviation community and, together, we will pursue all options available to bring much needed clarity and common sense to this issue."
