Yeah... I was something like 1730.... The 25,000 threshhold comments is an unrealistic number and the lobbiest who " suggested" that number knew damn well they would get their way and use the excuse the "whitehouse" miminum was not met... Looks like the AOPA, EAA and any other GA labby group didn't send enough cases of Scotch and good looking hookers to the commitee that determined that 25,000 minimum. <G> And just when is the whitehouse website used for policy making ? That and the fact you have to register to even vote..... I am betting alot of folks got to that point and bailed because of the idea they would then be in some data base held by the currect admin..... IMHO

Subject: [Bulk] [FlyRotary] FAA to charge for NOS Charts...
The FAA has decided to start charging companies for use of previously free NOS chart downloads and remove access for individuals starting April 5, 2012. It is suspected that this will have a noted impact of smaller companies that use this information and provides service to the consumer pilot (i.e. I-Pad/I-Phone navigation, EFIS GPS etc)
If you don't know about this, you may wish to become informed.
There is a petition on the White House website to have the policy reviewed. 25,000 sigs are needed by DECEMBER 14, 2011 (currently only about 1200...I was 1278).
