Aero-News Quote of the Day

"While spin training is required to earn a flight instructor rating, the quality and depth of that training can vary widely. Safety, however, demands that flight instructors be thoroughly competent and current in these procedures, because an instructor's ability to impart this knowledge and skill creates better pilots who can handle such situations. NAFI is happy to assist with this effort to gauge training levels and enhance aviation safety and proficiency."
