Click on the link below to support the EAA in their attempt to rein in the out of control FAA and their unnecessary rule-making.

This rule is being jammed down our throats bypassing the normal processes.  Another solution by the federal government looking for a problem!

 

Help me spread this around!

Quote from letter this petition generates to your representatives:

The FAA recently indicated that it is planning sweeping changes to the airman medical certification process, and that it plans to implement these changes without any input from the flying public, aviation associations, industry stakeholders, or Congress. Specifically, the FAA is mandating that airmen with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over a given threshold, even if they have not exhibited symptoms or been previously diagnosed, must undergo expensive and burdensome diagnostic evaluation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This sudden transition to prophylactic and preventative medicine comes without public review, cost/benefit analysis, or a NPRM.
