Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The industry’s positive numbers across all categories fuel cautious optimism as we move into 2014. The introduction of new products will be key to strong future growth, which is why GAMA continues to work with authorities across the globe to streamline certification processes. It is also why GAMA pushed so hard for adoption of the Part 23/CS-23 Aviation Rulemaking Committee recommendation and then followed by spurring the Small Airplane Revitalization Act, one of the few bills to be passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Obama last year. We hope 2014 brings an even stronger commitment by policymakers and aviation authorities to make it easier for general aviation manufacturers to introduce new, safety-enhancing products to market and allow our industry to continue to grow.”
