1) Two of the
10 most wanted list by the NTSB involved aviation. Those two were “Improve Safety of Airport Surface Operations” and “Improve
General Aviation.” I like the idea of the general aviation idea. This states
that general aviation accidents have been increasing due to the fact that pilots
either lack training or skills required for the weather that they are experiencing. It also mentions that new technology such as “glass”
cockpits adds even more difficulty to a bad situation.
2) I believe
that these topics made the list because they are considered by the NTSB to be
the most significant problem. For that
reason, I feel like these issues should have made the list. I would suggest that the NTSB should divide
the list up by the type of transportation.
That way they can focus on more topics for each transportation type.
3) I believe
that the jobs created by these two topics would be a training position. Someone who would instruct pilots about the
risks of falling behind the learning curve.
I also believe that a possible analyst position could be created
and maybe studies can be done on how to
reduce these occurrences.
You said that you believe that these topics made the list because "they are considered by the NTSB to be the most significant problems", but why? Why focus on helicopters when it is such a small and not lucrative part of the overall aviation industry?
ReplyDeleteI believe that they chose them because they need to hit all aspects of the transportation industry. This is not the best idea, is it.... I think to combat this, they should split the lists and make several that are specific to the different modes of transportation. By doing this they can focus on more problems.
DeleteI could definitely agree with you when you say the NTSB should divide the list up by the type of transportation. Each way of public transportation is completely different and they all could focus on specific details that could perhaps keep people safer.
