The airplanes used for training sure are small, are they safe?
Although the aircraft used for flight training may be small, they a very safe. The FAA requires training aircraft and rental aircraft to have an inspection every 100 hours. The aircraft must be inspected by an FAA licensed aviation maintenance technician and certified airworthy, before the aircraft is allowed to fly. In addition to 100 hour inspections, YOU will be properly trained in performing preflight inspections and will have the final authority to decide if the aircraft is safe to fly.
