My switchbox from Phil died and will not function at all. I can call in and it will turn on and than right back off, does not do anything for texts. He was no help trying to get it going again. Many calls and emails and only answered emails sporadically. So I bought one of the GSM Smart Socket for $38 and set up, its working at home and will take to hanger soon. PIREP Later When you set the thing up you must change the password by text following the instructions. Then send the owner phone number then it worked!!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Wireless-Smartphone-GSM-Remote-Control-3-Socket-Power-Outlet-Smart-Switch-/131695016405?hash=item1ea9a279d5

http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/ATC-Privatization-Shelved-225746-1.html House Republicans have shelved the controversial re-authorization bill that would have, among other things, created a privatized air traffic control system. The Hill was reporting late Thursday that instead of pursuing the full re-authorization bill, the House will instead concentrate on passing a short-term extension of the current authorization, which expires on March 31. House Transportation Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA), who championed the privatization move, said in a statement the idea is still alive. "This is an ongoing process, and we will continue working to educate members and address questions they have about the bill," he said in the statement. "The need for an extension was not a surprise, and details about the short-term measure are still being discussed." If the House didn't back off on the bill, the Senate was apparently ready to do it for them, however. According to Politico, the Senate was getting impatient with the protracted debate over something it clearly saw as a non-starter and was preparing its own reauthorization bill without the privatization element. "We're not going to wait that much longer," Chairman John Thune said Thursday "So we'll probably look at marking something up in the next couple of weeks and try to get it on the floor in April." Aviation group opposition to the privatization bid was a key factor in the House move. The work ahead will likely result in a much different approach to the issue. The biggest concern among opponents was the heavy influence of major airlines (four of 11 votes) on the board of directors that would have resulted from the structure that was envisioned. A few other things of interest to GA were lost with the shelving of the bill. A pure form of the driver's license medical (no medicals at all for most private pilots), the guarantee that no user fees would result from the new ATC corporation and the unfettered ability to build homebuilt aircraft in hangars at airports were also included in the bill.

let the bidding begin....

Much better than mothballs!

it made it thru committee, still has to go before house.

USA TODAY 7:46 p.m. EST February 11, 2016 WASHINGTON – A House committee approved landmark legislation Thursday to shift air-traffic control from the Federal Aviation Administration to a not-for-profit corporation, in an effort to provide more stable funding and avoid congressional politics. After more than eight hours of voting on amendments, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved the bill on a 32-26 vote. The bill now goes to the full House and must still be considered by the Senate. “The FAA’s failure to modernize the system has been well documented,” said Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., the committee chairman who wrote the bill. “With a modern system, we’ll see more effective use of the airspace, more direct routes, increased capacities, shorter flight times, reduced delays and cancellations, and reduced pollution and noise.” The top Democrat on the panel, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, proposed to scrap Shuster’s proposal and protect FAA from congressional meddling by making its funding automatic, rather than subject to annual decisions from lawmakers, with an overhaul of personnel and procurement policies. But his amendment was rejected on a 25-34 vote. “I think fracturing the FAA is a mistake,” DeFazio said. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/02/11/house-panel-votes-privatize-air-traffic-control/80234064/# The bill would change the way the system is funded, from current taxes on airlines to a user fee based on the weight and distance of flights. The bill exempts most of general aviation from the fee changes because those pilots will continue to pay an aviation fuel tax. Business jets that charge customers would pay fees based on weight and distance like airliners, Shuster said. But some general-aviation groups voiced concerns about the fees and that controllers would favor airliners over the pilots of smaller planes. The top lawmakers on the Appropriations Committees in the House and Senate oppose the legislation for threatening to eliminate their oversight. But Shuster said nobody is giving up jurisdiction more than his committee, and the change is necessary to keep the country a leader in aviation.
