You are the President. You can make one major decision that
will improve civil aviation in America.

What would you do?

1. Tie all transportation funds to "equal treatment" of GA at public
airports. IOW, if they discriminate against one segment of aviation,
they lose all Federal funding for airports, roads, mass transit, etc.

2. Require a certain allocation of GA facilities by population, say, one
hangar space per 1000 population.

3. Punish local governments, not the users, for violation of ADAP grant
agreements. IOW, if a city destroys a public airport or diverts
funds/resources, they lose ALL transportation funding until the damage
is repaired.

4. Federalise the public airport system, and have a separate division of
FAA to manage public airports. FAA should have first priority on
military surplus airfields -- especially in urban areas.
