Boyer and staff meet with members of Congress
Only one topic: Restore Class B VFR operations!
— AOPA President Phil Boyer, along with AOPA's
Washington, D.C.-based Legislative Affairs staff, traveled to Capitol Hill
yesterday to ask members of Congress to help lift the prohibitions on VFR in
"enhanced" Class B airspace. And in direct response, many members of Congress
are now taking action to help "free the GA 41,000."
The meetings targeted the members sitting on intelligence and armed services
committees, rather than the more familiar aviation-related committees. That's
because it is the National Security Council (NSC) and the White House that
are making the final decisions on what flight operations will be allowed.
AOPA efforts are now geared towards obtaining a meeting with the White House
or NSC.
