I'm pretty sure the FBO would let me keep the bike in their hangar if I bothered to bring it.
 
My first comment is that it is long and boring for the most part.

This stuff caught my interest:

This bill is a Christmas tree. I think Joe & Ric hit it right on the head...flying gets more expensive.
 
This is a real mystery to me:

Section 308 -
Requires the FAA Administrator to establish a pilot program to provide surveillance for aircraft flying outside of radar coverage in mountainous areas. Authorizes appropriations.

What constitutes "surveillance" in this respect? Was Capstone or ADS-B not enough?

Thanks, I hadn't seen that thread.

Anyway, since WAM seems to be operating already yet HR 915 is still in committee and yet to be voted by the Senate, I conclude at least the author of that section of the bill has something else in mind.
