To get the regulation changed for Third Class medical AOPA, EAA, and others took there case to Congress to force the FAA to change the regulations since they refused to do it themselves.
Maybe that is what the Gyro industry should do.
Organizations like the PRA along with manufactures of gyros should go to Congress and get a law passed to force the FAA to add gyros to the Sport pilot regulations.
It is such a huge safety issue I feel if borders on criminal that the FAA did the cut of gyros in Sport pilot regulations in the first place.
One of the FAA mandates is to promote aviation safety and but doing their cut out they are not promoting safety.
If there were certified Gyros that people could rent there would be more opportunity to get the proper training and reduce the number of accidents.
It would also grow the industry here in the US like it has in Europe.
From the turnout at this years PRA convention it appears as the gyro business is on the decline here.
Just a thought,
