Sacramento, Calif. -- On June 25, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill 1072, which amends the California Recreational Use Statute (RUS) to include recreational aviation. Since the RUS now protects landowners from liability arising from recreational use of their property, airstrip owners will likely be more receptive to transient pilots. It is a win for both airport owners and for pilots who now have more recreational opportunities in the state.
