Safety lnformatlon
Airplanes are truły remarkable machines. They enable us to
shrink dislance and time, and to expand our business and
personał
horizons in ways that, not too many years ago,
were virtually inconceivable. For many businesses, the gen-
e~al
aviation airplane has become the indispensable tool of
efficiency. ' ·
Advances in the mechanical reliability of the airplanes we fly
have been equally impressive, as attested by the steadily
declining statistics of accidents attributed to mechanical
c'auses; · at a time when the airframe, systems and power
plants have grown infinitely more complex. The explosion in ·
capabiliły of avionics systems is even more remarkable.
Radar, RNAV, LORAN, sophisticated autopilols and other
devices which, just a few years ago, were too large and pro:
hibitively expensive for generał aviation size airplanes, are
becoming increasingly commonplace in even the smallest
airplanes.

lt is •thus that this Safety lnformation is directed to the pilOt,
for it is in the area of the skill and proficiency of you, the
pirot, that the graatest gains in safe flying are to be made
over the years to come. lntimate knowledge of your airplane,
its ·capabilities and its limitations, and disciplined adherence
to ·the prcicedures for your airplane's operation, will enable
you to transform potential tragedy into an interesting hangar
story when - as it inevitably will - the abnormal situation is
presented.
Know your airplane's limitations, and your own. Never
exceed either.
Safe flying,
