Aviation Safety: Efforts to Implement Flight Operational Quality Assurance Programs

  Premium   Download PDF Now (42 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Dec. 2, 1997
Report No. RCED-98-10
Subject
Summary:

The analysis of aircraft data recorded during flight has played a crucial role in determining the causes of crashes. Recently, however, some U.S. airlines have begun to analyze flight data from uneventful airline flights to identify potential problems and correct them before they lead to accidents. This report examines efforts by the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. airlines to implement flight operational quality assurance programs. These programs use flight data to detect flaws, unsafe practices, or conditions outside of desired operating procedures early enough to allow timely intervention to avert accidents. Currently, about 33 foreign airlines and four U.S. airlines--United, US Airways, Continental, and Alaska--have implemented such programs. GAO discusses (1) how such programs will enhance aviation safety, (2) the costs and benefits of such programs, and (3) the factors that could impede their full implementation and steps that could be taken to overcome such barriers.
