*** 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.”
*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION *** This week, AVweb wants to hear your thoughts on the “Boeing comeback.” Chime in with your thoughts on the new Boeing 7E7.
