On 7th May it was announced by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) that it will hold a two-day forum on 19th and 20th June in Washington DC where will be discussed safety issues related to general aviation.

Commented Chairman Hersman, “Each year, hundreds of people are killed in general aviation crashes, and thousands more are injured. Tragically, the circumstances leading to these accidents are often repeated over and over, year after year. If we are going to prevent future fatalities and injuries, these common causes must be addressed.”
