This week, Robert Goyer reported on the new certification standards that are currently in the making at the FAA. Our industry is in dire need of this change. We need it to improve our safety record and to attract more people into the wonderful world of flying.
I learned to fly in a Cessna 152 that was, at the time of my training, nearly four decades old. Having been through the paces in the training environment, it looked even older. The equipment on the panel was outdated and the interior worn out. It was only my pure passion for flying that kept me going through my training. This type of worn out airplane is unfortunately the norm at many flight schools.
