Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We all fly different aircraft, but the job of the pilot is essentially the same. Today, we’ve heard the striking similarities between piloting an aircraft, whether ‘from the inside’ or ‘from the outside’. In both cases pilots do meticulous pre-flight preparations, assess the environment and focus on ensuring and executing a safe flight. Ultimately, the Pilot in Command’s role is the same regardless of aircraft: managing risk & controlling the aircraft safely.”
