FAA thanks AOPA and ASF for safety efforts

FAA Administrator Jane Garvey recently thanked AOPA and the Air Safety Foundation for "taking such a vital and proactive stance on the runway safety issue." In a letter to AOPA President Phil Boyer, Garvey specifically noted two safety articles in the August issue of AOPA Pilot ("Chain Reaction" and "Examining the Causes"), saying they captured "how each and every pilot can contribute to safety overall and reduce runway incursions." Garvey concluded, "Phil, thank you for continuing so strongly with your many and varied runway safety efforts. I appreciate the special partnership that continues to develop between our two organizations." (FAA Administrator Jane Garvey will be the featured speaker at the 9 a.m. AOPA Expo 2000 general session Saturday morning, October 21, at the Long Beach Convention Center.)
