Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We are cautiously optimistic that these figures represent many of our safety initiatives starting to take hold in the E-AB community. EAA has been working hard to promote transition and recurrent training, and we expanded the safety section of Sport Aviation to include monthly flight testing articles by EAA members with a strong flight test background. We hope that by encouraging builders and pilots who purchase E-AB aircraft to seek out the best training and information available, we can help those in our community avoid some of the most common accident causes." Source: Sean Elliott, EAA vice president of advocacy and safety. The number of fatal accidents in E-AB aircraft has declined significantly in 2013, according to FAA data.
