Support the Growth of General Aviation
In December, AOPA members Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Indiana), a member of the House General Aviation Caucus, and GA Caucus Co-Chair Sam Graves (R-Missouri) introduced the General Aviation Pilot Protection Act, or GAPPA.
Under GAPPA, pilots who make noncommercial VFR flights in aircraft weighing up to 6,000 pounds with no more than six seats would be exempt from the third-class medical certification process. Pilots would be allowed to carry up to five passengers, fly at altitudes below 14,000 feet msl and fly no faster than 250 knots. By way of comparison, most large SUVs on the roads today weigh more than 6,000 pounds and can carry six to seven passengers, making them larger than the aircraft that would be operated with proof of a valid driver’s license under this new bill. The legislation would also require the FAA to report on the safety consequences of the new rule after five years.

Welcome N6630D
Multi-Engine activity is at an all time high due to some forthcoming changes in the regulations. To meet this demand, SCFS has recently acquired a second Beechcraft Duchess. We have just gone through the airplane with a fine-toothed comb, and it is now on our flight line to be used for ATP training using the GNS 430 system in the airplane.
