Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We are very pleased that Congress continues to recognize the importance of the R&D tax credit and bonus depreciation, which will have a positive impact on general aviation manufacturers for their end-of-year sales in 2014. GAMA is also gratified that Congress is keeping up the pressure on both the FAA and industry to develop more efficient regulatory processes, which will allow manufacturers to bring new products that enhance safety to market much more quickly while the FAA makes more efficient use of its engineering resources. Certification streamlining initiatives and the Small Airplane Revitalization Act are important pieces of these efforts, and Congress has been very supportive in this area."
