The FAA confirmed today that its new administrator, Marion C. Blakey, will address AOPA Expo 2002 in Palm Springs, California, in person. Blakey's appearance next Thursday morning during the opening general session marks the first time she will appear before an audience of general aviation pilots.
Blakey can be expected to talk about some of the issues at the top of pilots' minds, including the proliferation of temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) around the nation, the loss of GA airports, the future of the flight service station system, and the outlook for general aviation.
The administrator will also take questions from the audience.
