New York tries to ground student pilots, again
As if New York legislators haven't made it difficult enough for aviation
enthusiasts to start flight training with the background check law that
was enacted last year, they are at it again. The legislators are proposing
to prohibit anyone under age 17 from operating an aircraft within the
state.

Can a state to this? Don't the Federal Regs trump the state statutes?
'Shirley' there is a precedence of state statutes vs. the FARs already set
somewhere.
