In your Editor’s Log in the July 2022 issue, “Gangbusters,” you comment on remarks made by Pete Bunce of GAMA on GA aircraft sales growth this year. You state that “Bunce attributes at least some of his industry’s sales growth to ‘regulatory reforms…that enable new technology and new aircraft and entrants.” You then proceed to discount Pete’s analysis, claiming that “there really haven’t been any ‘recent’ changes” and, inconsistently, that “even if there were, it takes time for such upheavals to ripple through the certification and production process.”
As one who was there, let me assure you that you’re wrong.
