Aero-News Quote of the Day

"It’s about being a good aviation citizen... If that term is familiar, well, it’s because we heard it from one of SAFE’s members, and we liked it so much that we included it in the Aviation Instructor’s Handbook. An aviation educator develops an aviation citizen – a professional – not just by training to proficiency in airplane control and aircraft systems but also by educating that pilot to make safety the number one priority, use good judgment in making decisions, recognize and manage risk, and to be accountable."
