Description

Regional airlines have experienced the last six fatal commercial airline accidents, and pilot performance has been cited as a potential contributory factor in four of these accidents, including the most recent in Feb. 2009 which resulted in 50 fatalities. The FAA is responsible for ensuring that pilots receive the necessary training and undergo the proper certification testing. This statement focuses on: (1) the various types of U.S. pilot training org., the regulatory training requirements for commercial airline pilots, and how they compare in preparing pilots candidates for commercial airlines; and (2) how and to what extent FAA carries out its oversight role of pilot training and certification of private and commercial pilots. Illus. This is a print on demand report.
