Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The Committee would require the FAA to report on its progress to Congress in implementing Section 312 (Aircraft certification process review and reform) of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and also in bolstering workforce and training programs for FAA certification inspectors, engineers, and specialists. The Committee also urges continued progress on the Small Airplane Revitalization Act rulemaking. GAMA applauds these Committee initiatives and believes they will play a key role in making the certification process more efficient and effective in bringing new technologies and products to market and improving aviation safety."
