Book excerpt: GAO's analysis of commercial air carrier accident statistics shows that the accident rate for small aircraft--those with nine or fewer passenger seats--is significantly higher than for larger aircraft. Two types of air carriers use small aircraft to provide air service--commuters, which generally provide air service on demand. Approximately 44% of the commuter fleet and 90% of the air taxi fleet consist of small aircraft. GAO found that airworthiness standards and operating rules for the small aircraft used by air carriers are significantly less stringent than those for larger aircraft used for the same purpose. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) establishes these standards and rules for all air carriers operating within the United States. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator of FAA: identify the standards and rules that are significantly less stringent for small aircraft; prepare cost/benefit estimates for possible upgrades of those standards, working with operators and manufacturers; and implement the alternatives that are feasible and cost beneficial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reported on how current federal airworthiness standards and operating rules influence the safety of small aircraft. The Airline Deregulation Act provides that, to the maximum extent feasible, air carrier passengers are to receive the same level of safety regardless of the size of the air carrier. However, GAO found that passengers flying on small aircraft are not provided with the same level of safety as passengers flying on larger aircraft. Both the airworthiness standards and the operating rules which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established for small aircraft are significantly less stringent than those it has established for larger aircraft. Since the late 1960's, FAA has studied, proposed, or made numerous changes to the airworthiness standards and operating rules. GAO found that these studies and changes either excluded or were not considered mandatory for aircraft with fewer than 10 seats because of the economic impact which such standards would have on the small aircraft industry. Some changes could be made at acceptable costs with substantial safety benefits to be gained; however, FAA has not prepared any cost/benefit analysis with regard to modifying the safety standards which apply to small aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the deregulation of commercial airlines in 1978, the United States airline industry has changed dramatically. Route entry and exit flexibility, as well as fare setting have stimulated competition, forcing airlines to emphasize cost control, increased productivity, and effective marketing. How have these changes in both public and private policies influenced airline safety? Do airplanes have more accidents now than ever before? This work examines the causes of airplane accidents and what private and public policies are needed to improve aviation safety. It begins by examining the safety record of the United States commuter airline industry in the post-deregulation era characterized by increased emphasis by airlines on cost control and growing pressures on the air traffic control and airport system. The authors go beyond the safety of the scheduled airlines to examine the reasons for accidents in the nonscheduled and general aviation segments of the United States industry, where the bulk of fatalities occur and where airline pilots increasingly receive most of their training and experience. They then turn to an examination of aviation safety throughout the world, first with a detailed comparison of Canadian and American aviation safety, and then with a look at air safety in all regions of the world and the safety performances of all the world's major airlines. Three emerging issues are then examined in greater detail: assessing the margin of safety, worldwide aging of all airline fleets, and terrorism. Clearly written, this careful and systematic analysis of well over 15,000 individual aviation accidents will provide greater insight for government officials, aviation industrymanagers, and researchers, as well as laypeople and other frequent flyers.
