The Americans are equally lukewarm on the idea.
"[The agency] has found the idea of these systems, with all of their inherent complexity to be more problematical than reliance on adequate airmanship," the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.
That worries Australia's safety bureau, which has called on the US authority to rethink the idea.
"The ATSB is concerned that the apparent inaction in this area by the FAA is a missed opportunity to enhance the safety of scheduled transport operations throughout the world," it concluded.

haha, the ozstronaughts never miss an opportunity to jab at america. This report was about a Dubai Airline in Australia, aircraft designed by Europeans, but somehow, its the yanks fault...

[BeCareful]

It is a wide-known fact that aircraft in the UK, Australia and New Zealand fly completely differently than they do in the US. :D

[BeCareful]

Easy there, Junior... don't hurt yourself.

What would a country with no airplanes or pilots or any real airlines know about safety??

There... fixed it for you.

Before you make a fool of yourself further, you may want to look at the overall numbers of pilots, aircraft, airlines, general aviation in the US, so on and so forth...

...and Yanks are the arrogant ones? :rolleyes:

I must have read a different report, because the one that I read didn't seem to imply that. :confused:

The report I read DID however say was that the FAA's apparent inaction with respect to work similar to that by EASA to develop a standard to guide the development in the US of take-off performance monitoring systems was a missed opportunity to enhance the safety of scheduled transport operations throughout the world (or words to that effect).

So the big thing you guys got from the report was some negative finding about past FAA inaction ?? We're doomed then....
I cringed when I saw the number 2 changed to a 3 on the OFP...

TCAS forces them to resign with "gross negligence charges".

How about that for safety culture and prevention!

"That's true, sugar.
And with the history of air disasters in the USA (including countless directly resulting from pilot irresponsibility) you'd think they'd be much more than lukewarm about anything that would keep their cowboys where they belong - on one of those mechanical bulls instead of in a jet.
What would a country with no experience of wide-body airliner disasters know about safety?? "

JAARule,
What would a country know about wide-body airline disasters that has 99% perfect weather, barely any snow or ice, and < 1/1000th the air traffic volume to europe and america?
