I did look into it as well. The bill has already been withdrawn but had been proposed by Rep. Weiner (D-NY). I wrote my congressman and Rep. Weiner trying to explain why a bill like this would be unacceptable and asking that for future reference that he check with EAA or AOPA or any pilot in the House or Senate before proposing any future legislation. May I ask all of you to do the same. People like Rep. Weiner aren't evil, just completely clueless. It is up to us to help them become informed. Thanks. Ray
