Flying Easy as Riding Dobbin Says Bergin
Director Joe Bergin of Utah State Civil Air Patrol argues modern planes are nearly foolproof, aided by design advances and relaxed eye tests for private pilots. He cites airport shortages and transportation gaps as major bottlenecks while noting ambitious roadable planes remain dependent on land field access. Weathering strict CAA checks, pilots must periodic physicals, engine and airframe inspections, and solo hours before flying solo. He invites business leaders to Milford to see the new planes in action.
