After the Federal Aviation Administration kept most airplanes in the United States grounded Wednesday, allowing only previously grounded aircraft to continue to their planned destination, MN Aviation certified flight instructor Heidi Knutson, right, works with student Joseph Oye on aviation chart-reading at the Albert Lea airport. MN Aviation owner Mike Nevins said he doesn’t know if he will be allowed to get his planes in the air at all this week due to the restrictions. He said he will keep all his instructors at home today if the flight ban is not lifted because there is limited ground school work they can do without practicing in an airplane. The FAA originally said they would keep aircraft grounded until 12 p.m. eastern time Wednesday.
