> "the sky is only accessible to a fraction of the one percent" Really? How many people want or need exclusive ownership? Unless I want to hour build for an ATPL, or have time off for holiday, only a few hours flying a month is likely. That's to enjoy flying as a hobby. A citizen seeking easy travel, rather than love of flying, would likely log even fewer hours. They may well prefer an air taxi or charter to ownership of a little used aircraft. A part share, or rental for $100/hr (chock to chock) is about as easy to reach as a cheaper car. That is plenty for a few hundred hours a year, so why bother with outright ownership? Most GA pilots are miles away from the 1%, with pretty regular jobs and wages. There's plenty of flying schools that will get you a PPL for around $5k or so, all in with books, tests and 40hrs. That's all pretty affordable - should you want it. So what regulations should go to unleash this pent up demand for more aircraft? Honestly, I don't see it. At all.
