Larry Clymer, Federal Aviation Administration
Larry Clymer talks about a very busy week at the FAA Sport Pilot Branch. Several new DPEs were trained and the first powered parachute private pilot without restrictions was certified. We talk about all that as well as some listener questions about what a private pilot rating for trikes or powered parachutes allows a pilot to do. FAA Sport Pilot Branch

John Yonkin, UltraFlight Magazine
John Yonkin has just gone through an ordeal with an aviation web site he owns that those of us with domains will find frightening. He didn’t get renewal notices for the popular site, powerchutes.com. When the site came up for renewal, he missed the renewal and a cybersquatter took it over. We visit about what happened and how he was able to get the domain returned. UltraFlight Magazine

Morris Yoder just became the first private rated powered parachute pilot without restrictions. We talk about his week at Oklahoma City where he first had to go through a check ride himself, then began training FAA personnel.
