On the recordMarch 8, 1994
It would not jeopardize safety at all. The aviation industry and general aviation is guided each step of the way from the beginning design to the completion of the plane by Federal safety guidelines. There are various steps of certification that have to be met. There are manuals that lay out exactly what needs to be done to maintain a plane, approval along each step of the way. In no way will safety be placed in jeopardy. The Senator from Missouri is exactly correct when he said that 99.9 percent of all general aviation accidents were caused by something other than design or manufacturing defects. I think this is an industry that has to meet such stiff requirements for safety all along the manufacturing process that the safety will never be placed in jeopardy. One of the reasons that we have a higher safety record today is that we have imposed and continue to impose such high standards for safety.
