To the best of my knowledge, “GASAR” is not an organisation, but an abbreviation for a study (General Aviation Small Aerodrome Research Study) carried out by Terry Lober on behalf of GAAC, funded partly by all its member bodies and partly by the government.
But as Fuji knows so much, he no doubt knew that too.
And probably why AOPA and other bodies often send their own input to Government as well as contributing to GAAC’s overview papers.
I am not going to get further into a debate – I just wish people knew (or did not write as though they don’t when they later claim they do) who does what, and why, and how organisations do cooperate as best they can under their constitutions.
