Question of the Week: Higher Taxes on Avgas, Less Time in the Air?
If the FAA’s new funding proposal were enacted, increasing avgas taxes from 17.4 to 70.1 per gallon, how would it affect your GA flying activity? Tell us! Plus: Results of last week’s question on the audible evidence of the coming controller crisis.
PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
A lot has been said about the coming controller crisis, much of it here on AVweb. Last week, we asked if our readers have noticed any symptoms of the crisis, such as increased denial of VFR flight-following services or requests for practice approaches.
27% of those who responded confirmed that yes, they had experienced (or heard over their own radios) more denied requests in recent months. At the other end of the spectrum, more than 50% of you said that you had no personal knowledge of the reduction of either service.
