RE: Turbine Regulations Saga
Dave Brown told me in a conversation last Saturday that the 200 MPH speed limit has no basis in anything. It was simply pulled out of thin air.
He also confirmed that most of the "insurance dollar" goes to property / land owners coverage. It's not an airplane issue.
Speed limits are not needed - Totally uninforcable
Speed limitors are not needed - Undependable and can't be properly monitored - how they are set.
Fuel limits are not needed - none of us want's to carry any more than we need.
Folks; It's time to get into the 21st Century.
Here is another piece of information one may find interesting. What segment of model aviation is responsible for the largest claim every paid by the AMA? Free Flight.
