Default President of our local EAA chapter killed in inaugural flight

Simple: They just don't tell the FAA. There's no requirement for an FAA

Right. The sad part is, as president of an EAA chapter, he knew better, and
decided that the rules didn't apply to him.

It makes me mad. Incidents like this give us all a black eye.
