Abstract:

An independent review team examined the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) safety approach. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the review team. The aim of this review is to help FAA advance flight safety as effectively as possible in the wake of two aviation occurrences (1) Southwest Airlines' perceived lack of oversight and operation of non-compliant aircraft (refusal to conduct fuselage inspections for structural cracks) in 2007; and (2) American Airlines' opposite approach - grounding their MD-80's aircraft fleet until it was determined whether or not they were in compliance with airworthiness directives.
