Biden names deputy transportation secretary as new acting FAA chief

1. Can she or as she ever flown an aircraft?

The NTSB and the FAA are killing GA because of bureaucratic leadership that may be great administrators but seem to at times have no clue how an aircraft works, especially when it comes to General Aviation. In a recent GA crash investigation (I'll find the link, its searchable) and hearing testimony to determine cause a person that was representing the NTSB/FAA didn't even know what an aileron was.

I get the NTSB/FAA has to manage the huge and vitally important commercial air industry and in general they do very well at that very hard job. But seriously, we need a separate subdivision under the FAA for General Aviation that is less bureaucratic and more aviator driven, headed by aviators or at least people with aviation experience. GA is a whole different ball game than commercial aviation. I'm tired of seeing GA crash investigations always ending in "pilot error".

Better training and leadership and like everything else people that can and will fight these DAMN INSURERS!

Just my nickle
