Opposing the proposed expansion of Racer and JPG MOAs in southern Indiana, USPA President Steve Uslan has written the FAA, recommending they say NO.
Among the reasons given, Uslan states:
“Raising the floor of the MOA to 3,500’ offers no security to GA pilots who would try to comply with the 3,500’ suggested transit altitude or below. The problem comes up from the Air Force who routinely violate the hard deck and penetrate civilian airspace.”
“The blocking of VFR airways to accommodate the AF is unnecessary and inherently dangerous. It is also showing lack of consideration to the pilots who routinely fly these routes. The infringement on instrument approaches to Freeman Municipal (SER) could also be hazardous to GA aircraft safety.”
“We in general aviation can ill afford any further interference in planned flight routes or instrument approaches.”
