NTSB Forum Follow Up

NTSB Board members top row,
my new aircraft design and certification panel at bottom
The forum held last week that I discussed in this post was very good. I was able to attend 7 of the 8 sessions and the speakers and topics were all very good. It is frustrating that the GA safety record has not improved over the years. One thing that came out of all of this is that general aviation consists of many different types of airplanes, and many different uses, and there is no one way to make it all safer. It always starts with the pilot getting enough good training and continuing education, but we as a community need to continue to do more to support it. I met several people, had dinner with good Cirrus safety minded folks and learned a bunch too. http://img.ezinemark.com/imagemanager2/files/30004252/2011/11/E10.jpg
