What is required is a rewrite of the Act to include the prime directive of the fostering of a vibrant, growing, diverse aviation sector.
That makes the test of any regulation: 'Is it consistent with "fostering of a vibrant, growing, diverse aviation sector"? AOPA and other associations then can argue with the regulator over the potential outcomes of regulations
And realistically, how long is that going to take?
The industry needs an injection of support now, not 5 - 10 years down the track.
Agree with Piston Broke and others. Forget the Act, AOPA and the industry associations should meet and come up with a succinct list of proposals to push.
