Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The FAA must ... act quickly to mitigate the shutdown’s other harmful effects on our industry, including the delay of new certification of aircraft, equipment and simulators; training and maintenance; and accident investigations. As just one example, the FAA should consider a blanket exemption for all certifications, authority and qualifications that have or will expire shortly as a result of the shutdown. By taking these actions now, the FAA can begin to address the damage done to our industry by this shutdown and ensure that our companies and their employees can recover.” Source: Statement from GAMA president and CEO Pete Bunce on the end of the partial government shutdown.
