P.O.Box 2152, San Rafael, CA 94912. February 27, 1987 Federal Aviation Administration, 701 C Street, Box 14, Anchorage, Alaska 99513 Gentlemen: I'm following the affair described in the attached newspaper clipping with interest, and find your open approach to the matter a breath of fresh air in a field where there has been very little. Would one of your people please be kind enough to take a moment to comment--VERY briefly--on the enclosed postcard as to whether in the FAA's judgment Philip Klass’ evaluatton is generally correct and whether apprpriate weight is being given to what I Tmagine is the very considerable flying experience which Captain Terauchi has had? My warm advance thanks for your courtesy go with this note. Most sincerely, ENCLOSURES (2)
