Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Without many members of the general public or the
federal government actually realizing it, the general aviation
industry has implemented a wide variety of measures designed to
make it less vulnerable to potential misuse by a
terrorist... For the most part, these steps have been
implemented voluntarily instead of having been required by one
agency or another. Yet, despite all that industry has done and has
been required to do, one hurdle remains: Re-opening DCA to general
aviation."
Source: NATA President Jim Coyne, in
remarks following his congratulations to the participants in
an industry working group that has been developing a series of
recommendations for ways in which non-commercial aircraft operators
and aviation businesses may enhance security at smaller, general
aviation airports throughout the U.S. The recommendations present a
series of voluntary, standardized guidelines the general aviation
industry may use in continuing to ensure the security of its
aircraft, flights and facilities.
