Default Home Slamming Down Under; Drone Slamming in AZ

Ah, jump on a typo... ok.

VLJs: FAA plan is to put thousands of these into the air, and mix them in
with the old GA fleet. Then, sprinkle in a bunch of basically untrained
LSA pilots. (Read an article in GA news that a company is offering a
program to get an LSA license in a week. Damn: that's less time than it
takes to learn to drive a car!!!)

I'm wondering, since some pilots are so concerned about mid-airs, whether
home slammings occur with greater frequency.



Not to worry. I think the hype surrounding how many VLJs are going to be put
in the air is hopeful at best.
