Drove up to Cathlamet Wa. yesterday to help my uncle repair an old shop heater. As soon as I walked in, he said sit down and read this you won't believe it.
To paraphrase what the article says is that the FAA has issued a revised order #5190.6B. Airport compliance manual.
"From what I read this manual is a guide for local FAA inspectors regarding airport operations"
The manual went from 96 pages to 691 pages.
The article goes on to say,some of the more controversial regs include
1. No more auto fuel can be used in aircraft.
2 Light sport aircraft that can be trailered, and owners/operators of recreational aircraft such as powered parachutes weight shift-control and Gyroplanes will be denied access to airports. "I think they mean towed through the gate"
Other issues had to do with living on camping on airports and fair rent for hangar space......
I went to FAA.Gov and tried to make sense of it but I run out of gas pretty quick

Is anybody familiar with this?
