Default FAA to be phasing out "position and hold" in the US

In that case the only solution is unrolling a large banner: "Then get
your ass out of the plane and buy one !"


Right. Many pilots toady cannot "see" an airplane if it doesn't have a
radio.



They really ought to get rid of those grandfathering rules in the FAA;
just because a plane was safe in a 1960s flight environment does not
mean it's safe now without upgrades. /end rant


It's just as safe now as it was in the '60s where conditions are the same
now as they were then. If you want radios required at your field start a
campaign for a control tower.
