The Impact of Product Liability Litigation on the Aviation Community—A General Aviation Aircraft Manufacturer's View 871329
The need for a uniform federal standard for product liability in General Aviation is presented in light of the current experience with state-by-state tort law. This presentation is concerned mainly with safety, why manufacturers emphasize safety, how safety is improved, related FAA regulations, and the downward trend of fatal aircraft accidents. In contrast to this is the impact of product liability litigation from a General Aviation aircraft manufacturer's viewpoint.
