The Coalition Has Also Partnered With Other Organizations

The global Business Aviation Sustainable Aviation Fuel Coalition (SAF Coalition) today welcomed the inclusion of the Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA), as part of a growing, unified effort behind a forward-looking business aviation sustainability agenda. “As the coalition has made clear, SAF is key to the industry’s goal of continued emissions reduction,” said CBAA President and CEO Anthony Norejko. “SAF may sound too good to be true, but it is true: it will dramatically reduce carbon emissions, and help the industry go further, faster in reducing an already low carbon footprint. We are pleased to be part of a group that is ensuring this vision becomes re

About 15 Minutes After Departure He Heard A “Binding Sound” And Felt A Reduction In Engine Power

On October 16, 2020, about 1515 eastern daylight time, a Bell 206B, N777CP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Zephyrhills, Florida. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
