Stop the FAA: And Save General Aviation

By Darryl H Phillips

A series of essays on the dysfunctional relationship between the Federal Aviation Agency and those it pretends to serve. STOP THE FAA examines the agency as it actually affects the pilot, particularly the aviator who flies for enjoyment and pleasure. Violations, arbitrary enforcement of real regulations (and of those that FAA individuals dream up), how to fight them, the harmful effect of FAA's inadequate equipment, the future of Free Flight, all those and more are in this book.STOP THE FAA discusses why personal flight is decreasing in the United States and what we can do about it, Learn why AOPA and EAA work so hard and accomplish so little in the face of the FAA, and suggestions of how to change it.Long a proponent of silent Stirling engines for aviation, the author explores the advantages aviation could enjoy if we quiet our aircraft, and how we can do it.If you are satisfied with the slipping-towards-oblivion status quo in personal aviation you don't need this book. But if you're interested keeping costs reasonable, keeping flying alive for the generations to come, and keeping the FAA from destroying the freedoms we treasure, this is the book for you.
