Aero-News Quote of the Day

“There is currently no way of knowing for certain what impact ANY changes we make in the GA system has or will have on our fatal accident rate. None, nothing, nada. We're only guessing - and that ain't no way to run an airline.
So, nay-sayers, and that includes you, AOPA, let's get behind this effort to objectively quantify our annual hours flown by aircraft type, make and model. When you do so and this system is finally implemented, the Nall Report will finally offer genuine benefit to the industry. Until then, it's simply another way to spend member pilot dollars in a totally non-effective way.
Flying has risks. Choose wisely."
