FAASTeam Releases Notice to Ag Aviators in Response to High Number of Fatal Ag Accidents
The FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) released a notice to agricultural aircraft operations last week in response to the high number of fatal accidents that occurred in June. The notice contains a list of suggested actions to improve safety for ag aircraft. The notice is timely as July is the industry’s busiest month, and unfortunately also the month with the most accidents. The notice ends by suggesting additional resources for ag pilot to get more information, listing NAAA as one of those options.
No matter how busy you get for the rest of the season, don’t let anything compromise your safety or cause you to ignore your personal minimums. For more safety information, please check out some of NAAA’s resources:
