1989 a Year of Challenge

The year 1989 will offer many challenges to the general aviation industry and it will require a concerted and united effort by the whole industry and its associations to achieve some semblance of economic viability.

These charges come at a time when the industry is dangerously short of experienced flight instructors, LAMEs and mainstream charter pilots.
