• Abstract:
  The Office of Inspector General (OIG), Department of Transportation, conducted an inspection of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Deicing Program. Following the March 1992 crash of USAir Flight 405 at La Guardia Airport in New York, New York, FAA amended Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 121.629, and developed the "Aircraft Ground Deicing and Anti-Icing Program," to prevent future icing-related accidents. This inspection was to determine how these changes improved air safety during icing conditions. As a part of the inspection, we contacted 179 officials from FAA Flight Standards Service, Air Traffic, and Airports divisions, as well as air carriers and airport operators.
