Aero-News: Quote of the Day
ANN's Quote of the Day
usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to
pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events
and issues.
Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if
particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become
future Quotes of the Day.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"It places a significant burden on both pilots and air
traffic controllers; penalties for even the smallest of infractions
are extremely harsh (the equivalent of having your driver's license
suspended for a rolling stop at a stop sign); and it needs, at the
very least, to be made more operationally efficient. To that end,
AOPA has made several recommendations which thus far have not been
acted upon."
Source: Chris Dancy, Media Relations Director
for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, commenting on the
group's position against the air defense identification zone (ADIZ)
in place for the past three-and-a-half years over Washington, DC.
Many pilots have questioned what role the ADIZ may have played in a
fatal crash near Maryland's Tipton Field last Thursday, when a
modified Piper Malibu impacted terrain after its pilot
was told to turn back to the field after busting the ADIZ.
AOPA says it will not comment on a potential connection until more
facts are known about the accident.
