*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, AVweb asked your opinion on the much-anticipated Sport Pilot rating.  Most respondents are ready for Sport Pilot and changes it will bring – including new aircraft, new pilots, and a renewed interest among senior pilots.  Over 200 people (60% of those surveyed) are waiting for the new rating with open arms.  17% of you are less than thrilled with Sport Pilot, however; you fear the new rating will bring in more careless pilots who aren’t as dedicated to the art of flying.  A third contingent (15% of our respondents) say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
