Last week, AVweb asked about the new Sport Pilot rules lurking in our near
future. Most AVweb readers who responded are open to the new rules 34%
of you welcoming Sport Pilot with open arms, while another 33% say that what's
good for the industry is good for the individual pilot (regardless of whether
the Sport Pilot rules apply to him). 26% of you said we don't need new
rules (or a new category) at all, just better enforcement of the ultralight
rules we already have. And a cautious 6% of readers said there
could be benefits to Sport Pilot, but the new rules will certainly be a
double-edged sword.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***

what you really think about the salaries of CFIs:
Are flight instructors overpaid?
