Kiwi Tales #18: Ray Patchett - Ag Pilot and Ideas Man
Q: What do you see as the biggest factor in reducing accidents in ag aviation?
Selecting the right candidate for training, thorough preparation, and designing aircraft with appropriate power-to-weight ratios and stable center of gravity to match the operational loads are essential for safety.

Q: How did your early experiences shape your decision to become an ag pilot?
