…Step-By-Step Guide…

For those who have never commented on a proposed rule, the process is fairly straightforward and open to anyone. But AOPA is making it even easier with a step-by-step guide to ensuring your voice is heard in Washington. The guide contains all the links and helpful hints necessary to post comments via the Internet, which is the preferred way. Not sure what to say? AOPA can help out there, too, with a list of discussion points that you can personalize. (Hint: original comments tend to carry more weight than simply copying the AOPA-supplied notes.) AOPA says it shouldn’t take more than about 15 minutes to follow the directions and help fill up the comment box. “I urge every AOPA member to take the time and comment to the FAA,” Boyer told a Pilot Town Meeting in Phoenix last week. “This is an important investment in protecting your personal right to fly.”
