Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) requirements for participation in its Airport Certification Program, particularly: (1) its requirements for commuter airlines with 30 or fewer passenger seats; (2) the program's safety benefits and cost-effectiveness; and (3) alternative requirements and their impact on commuter airports. GAO found that: (1) airports that serve only commuter airlines with less than 31 passengers cannot acquire certification; (2) many currently certified airports could lose their certification because they no longer meet FAA participation requirements; (3) the program has increased airport safety by reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing airports' ability to deal with accidents; (4) airport certification costs ranged from $25,000 to $313,000 for capital costs, $8,200 to $77,000 for annual operating costs, and $820 to $2,100 for FAA inspection and recertification; (5) a grant program under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 could cover most of airports' capital costs; and (6) implementation of alternative participation requirements would increase the number of certified commuter airports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board has maintained a significant interest in commuter airline safety since the Board's creation in 1967. The Safety Board's involvement with commuter safety is reflected in accident reports, safety recommendations, and special studies which cover the period since 1970. In 1979, the Safety Board designated 14 CFR 135 enforcement and surveillance as a fiscal year 1980 safety objective. In October 1979, after a series of commuter accidents, the Board undertook a special study of commuter airline safety, and in January 1980, conducted a 4-day public hearing on the subject. This study includes a review and analysis of the commuter airline industry accident history since 1972; an analysis of the predominant safety issues which affect the commuter airline industry; and a review of the relationship of the Federal regulators to the commuter airlines. The Safety Board developed the basis of the study from its 1972 special study of air taxis, the Board's accident statistics, and accident investigation experience, and from an extensive field survey. The study discusses the operational, maintenance, training, and regulatory areas of the industry and analyzes safety deficiencies. The Board concludes that the basis to sound commuter airline safety must come from a coordinated program which includes the implementation of the new 14 CFR 135, Federal Aviation Administration surveillance and enforcement efforts, and a strong safety-oriented posture by commuter managers. Coupled with this program must be the permanent recognition by the Federal Aviation Administration of the commuter industry as an airline industry rather than as a segment of general aviation. Finally, the Safety Board makes a number of safety recommendations to the FAA designed to enhance the commuter airline industry.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly everyone experiences fatigue, but some professions--such as aviation, medicine and the military--demand alert, precise, rapid, and well-informed decision making and communication with little margin for error. The potential for fatigue to negatively affect human performance is well established. Concern about this potential in the aviation context extends back decades, with both airlines and pilots agreeing that fatigue is a safety concern. A more recent consideration is whether and how pilot commuting, conducted in a pilot's off-duty time, may affect fatigue during flight duty. In summer 2010 the U.S. Congress directed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to update the federal regulations that govern pilot flight and duty time, taking into account recent research related to sleep and fatigue. As part of their directive, Congress also instructed FAA to have the National Academy of Sciences conduct a study on the effects of commuting on pilot fatigue. The Effects of Commuting on Pilot Fatigue reviews research and other information related to the prevalence and characteristics of commuting; to the science of sleep, fatigue, and circadian rhythms; to airline and regulatory oversight policies; and to pilot and airline practices. The Effects of Commuting on Pilot Fatigue discusses the policy, economic, and regulatory issues that affect pilot commuting, and outlines potential next steps, including recommendations for regulatory or administrative actions, or further research by the FAA.
