Not So Fast, AOPA Tells FCC
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) June 15 released the notice of a rule prohibiting the "certification, manufacture, importation, sale, or continued use of 121.5 MHz ELTs." The rule would suddenly make aircraft that are in full compliance with the federal aviation regulations in violation of federal communications law. "At this time, we caution anyone against purchasing a new ELT until this issue is resolved," said AOPA Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Rob Hackman. ". As verified by the FCC, the rule has not been published in the Federal Register, and thereby no effective date can be determined. This provides AOPA and the general aviation industry the opportunity to address our concerns with the FCC and potentially influence the outcome."

American Pilot Makes Red Bull Podium

Goulian had a minor error that cost him a penalty, dropping him to seventh when he was threatening to take the fourth-place finish. Chambliss got the third-place finish, and a spot on the podium, but was only three-hundredths of a second away from coming in second
