FAA: Aviation Safety Is Everyone’s Concern; Pay Attention to the Fundamentals
The Federal Aviation Administration has a message for the flying community (and everyone else, for that matter): Safety is EVERYONE’S concern, so pay attention to the fundamentals of flying within the capabilities of the pilot AND the aircraft. This theme was reinforced during the Super Safety Seminar at the 6th Annual Midwest Aviation Conference and Trade Show at the Maryland Heights Community Center near St. Louis, MO today. For details on the Super Safety Seminar, please see my posting at Associated Content: http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/279957/carmelo_turdo.html.
The Super Safety Seminar was well attended by current and future pilots and flight instructors.
