General Aviation Security Magazine - June 2015

In this issue

Our June edition dives into the depths of aviation. Joe Corrao examines the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s recent use of a press release to ground drones in the Washington DC SFRA. Is that legal? See Joe’s examination of U.S. Supreme Court rulings that appear to allow the FAA to rule by fiat. The subject is not as dry as it sounds and provides a laser focus on what may be the vanguard of aviation regulation creation for the future.
Newcomer to our pages, David McIntosh describes what it’s like to learn aerobatics while flying in Canada’s beautiful British Columbia. Besides his descriptions that make readers feel like they are listening to a good friend weave a great tale about flying, David provides breathtaking aerial photos of the area.
