Mem. Homendy: In 1961 Pres. Kennedy set a goal to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade--July 1969, Armstrong & Aldrin did that. In 1969, NTSB investigated its 1st PTC preventable accident. In 1 decade we put a man on the moon but in 5 decades we haven't implemented PTC.
We applaud the general #aviation industry for its continued focus on training—even as flying opportunities may be severely limited at this time. Keeping proficient in your flying skills is critical—even if some of it has to be done from home.
