☆ After Many Close Calls Between Planes, Experts Say the FAA Needs Better Staffing and Technology
  + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Associated Press | Nov. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +3 min
Aviation experts who examined the Federal Aviation Administration's safety record say the agency needs better staffing, equipment and technology to cope with a surge in the most serious close calls between planes. The group said Wednesday that the margin of safety in the nation's airspace is eroding and will get worse if nothing is done. The FAA has about 1,000 fewer fully certified controllers than it had 11 years ago, according to the report. “The FAA has made limited efforts to ensure adequate air traffic controller staffing at critical air traffic control facilities,” the experts added. “The age and condition of FAA facilities and equipment are elevating system risk to unsustainable levels, even before considering losses in efficiency from outdated technology,” the panel wrote.

☆ Staffing shortages, outdated facilities threaten US air safety -- report

The panel, named by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), released a 52-page report citing problems that included shortages of air traffic controllers, technology issues, outdated systems and dramatic funding needs. It cited aging FAA air traffic control facilities with leaking roofs, broken heating and air conditioning systems and old surveillance radar systems that must soon be replaced at a cost of billions of dollars. A government watchdog report said in June critical air traffic facilities face significant staffing challenges, posing risks to air traffic operations. The FAA said in March it was taking steps to improve air traffic control operations, which are short-staffed. "There is no question that we are seeing too many close calls," the head of the FAA's air traffic organization told employees.

WASHINGTON March 24 (Reuters) - Joby Aviation (JOBY.N), which is developing electrical aircraft to operate as air taxis, on Friday named former Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) head Michael Huerta to its board of directors. Joby is pushing to win FAA certification for its vertical take-off and landing aircraft ahead of starting planned commercial passenger service in 2025. Huerta served as FAA administrator from 2013 to 2018 after three years as deputy administrator. Joby CEO JoeBen Bevirt said Huerta's seat on both boards "will be invaluable as we prepare for commercial operations." The FAA in November issued airworthiness criteria for Joby to certify its Model JAS4-1 aircraft.
