....MORE WAAS Approaches...
....Improved Flight Service Stations...
FAA FLIGHT PLAN OPEN FOR COMMENT
The FAA has posted its 2009-2013 Flight Plan online, and will accept comments on it until August 22. The plan details the agency's strategy to meet goals such as deploying NextGen airspace technology, and improving safety. The plan sets a goal to reduce general aviation accidents by 10 percent by 2018, by providing better cockpit technology, more WAAS approaches, and improved Flight Service Station services. A special target for Alaska aims to reduce accidents in GA and Part 135 ops from the 2000-2002 average of 130 per year down to 99 or less.......
Interesting that the FAA is actually spending more money /time/resources on improving
Air Safety,
and AsA continues down the path of reducing / destroying FIS services.:ugh:
How in the world can we improve safety in this country by removing services, and not hiring the required number of ATC staff to provide same????:yuk:
The question is purely rhetorical at this stage....I feel.....:(:(
Good Luck to All........:eek:
