Recently, the American Bonanza Society Air Safery Foundation announced plans for a S5 million endowment fund-raising drive. The money will be used to funher the greatest cause to which we, as an organization, can devote ourselves: safety in our skies. Only the interest from investment of d1e endowment will be used; fUl1her, a pOl1ion of the interest accnred will be kept with d1e original invesunent as a hedge against inflation. This will ensure that d1e money we raise will keep its value into d1e next century. There are a number of ways the goal of improved safery in our skies will be accomplished as a direct result of a successful fund drive. I'd like to oudine a few of those. First, 'we will hire an administrative director for the Air Safety Foundation. His duties, among others, will include the overall management of the ASF, including selection and evaluation of qualified inspector! instructors, responsibility for all the educational programs of the ASF, setting up proficiency and maintenance seminars in locales where the greatest number of pilots can attend at the lowest possible cost, production of manuals and brochures, and communication of the ASF successes and needs to the membership at large. Secondly, d1e Bonanza/Baron Pilot Proficiency Programs and the Service Clinic programs wi ll be expanded and underwritten so that even d10ugh they are PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS Safety In OUf Skies better than ever and available to more pilots in more locations than ever, their costs will not rise above d1e current rates, if at all possible. Thirdly, a series of Bonanza- and Baron-related videos will be produced and introduced to the membership at a nominal fee as a result of this endowment fund ing. Some of d1e potential topics include: Emergencies ill Bonanzas and Barons, Bonanza and Baron Icing Perils, Su mmer and Winter Operations/or Bonanzas and BalOns, Bonanza Systems, BalOn Systems, Forced landings, Bonanza and BalOn PlOficiencyIRecunrmcy, and many od1ers that apply to all of us. We also hope to secure additional STC, 337 infonnation and technicaVinstallation drawings for d1e libralY d1at will be shared with the membership. In all, the goal of the endowment fund dlive, once achieved, will ensure d1e abiliry of the ABS/ ASF to raise the overall safery of all our pilots and aircraft into the next centlllY and beyond. In funlfe issues of the newsletter, we'll have even more reasons for you to become pal1 of this wOlthwhile project Until next month ... safe flying. ~ Fe~ AMERICAN BONANZA SOCIETY, APRIL 1993 PAGE 3196
