Last week, AVweb asked your opinion on the much-anticipated Sport Pilot rating.
Most respondents are ready for Sport Pilot and changes it will bring including
new aircraft, new pilots, and a renewed interest among senior pilots. Over
200 people (60% of those surveyed) are waiting for the new rating with open
arms. 17% of you are less than thrilled with Sport Pilot, however; you
fear the new rating will bring in more careless pilots who aren't as dedicated
to the art of flying. A third contingent (15% of our respondents) say,
"I'll believe it when I see it."
