With the United States presidential election at a high boil right now, we thought it would be a good time to see how what many describe as political polarization has affected your flying.

Thanks for taking our survey!

To state the obvious, at Plane & Pilot we pride ourselves on being on top of politics only as it relates to airplanes! Users fees, closing airports, airworthiness directives and pilot enforcement actions—we’ve got strong opinions about all those things and share them unabashedly. The rest of it? Well, there are plenty of websites and social media places (way too many, we’d say) where people can spar. Here it’s all bout the flying. We are curious, however, to hear how politics has affected your flying life. And we thought you might be interested in seeing what your fellow pilots are saying about that, too.
