Podcast: GA Safety Rate Fails to Improve

The NTSB this week released its latest safety statistics, and the rate for general aviation aircraft showed little improvement. Earl Weener of the NTSB, who is himself an active GA pilot, has been working to help focus FAA efforts toward reducing GA accidents, and he’s hopeful that programs now underway will have substantial effects over the next few years. He talks with AVweb’s Mary Grady about what some of the problems are and explains the strategies being developed to address them.
