CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN AVIATION SAFETY

A BRIEF EXCERPT

by Craig Conroy

As we sit on the taxiway of the second century of aviation history our predecessors could never have imagined the aviation world of today and its problems. The new generation of transports and unimaginable technology would appear unbelievable but our advances come with a significant number of problems. Through judicious study and the application of proven safety practices, none of our current problems need exist at an insurmountable level.

"IT IS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT IS THE WORST OF TIMES..." CHARLES DICKENS

Currently there are five full length motion pictures and three novels dealing with aviation safety and related issues.
