The FAA funding bill passed by Congress and signed by President Trump last week is good news for general aviation, according to analyses of the plan by several GA advocacy groups. “We appreciate the strong support shown by Congress in this omnibus measure for general aviation, especially in the critical areas of safety, certification and the transition to an unleaded avgas,” said GAMA President Pete Bunce. He added that the bill also raises “strong concerns about the attempt to remove the U.S. air traffic control system from the FAA,” which is in sync with GAMA’s view that ATC privatization would be a bad idea.
