Question of the Week

The November elections are behind us, and now AVweb wants to know if you think the power shift will affect the hot issue of user fees. Could the shift of control from the Republicans to the Democrats in the House of Representatives, and most likely the Senate, will thwart the push for aviation user fees in the next FAA reauthorization bill? Plus: Results of last week’s question on airplane emergency recovery parachutes.

PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Does the average pilot's sense of invincibility increase when flying an aircraft with an emergency parachute recovery system?

That's the question we put to AVweb readers last week, and your responses left little in doubt: AVweb readers do think parachutes foster a false sense of security. At least, 57% of you think so.

Another 24% said no, while the remaining 19% of those polled were unsure.
