There is no penalty for failing to make the required FAA reports or investigation!
Is it only pilots who are held accountable?
http://www.airlinesafety.com/editorials/editorial2.htm Thus, it should be as criminal to fail to report and investigate near collisions as it is to fail to report taxable income. It is a felony to lie to any Federal Official, but it is no crime for FAA personnel to lie about their own wrong doing, even if it could cost the lives of innocent passengers. It is a felony to falsify any airline record, but it is no crime for FAA personnel to block an investigation that would expose records revealing their own incompetence. That has to change. |

For that I am GLAD! Those investigations would have been about me. I suspect that you too have been cut some slack for your mistakes from ATC a time or two. D. |

So you feel that ATC failing to perform duties REQUIRED by regulations/orders is a good thing? I suspect that you too have been cut some slack for your mistakes from ATC a time or two. There are times when ATC has discretion in reporting an incident. The reporting of NMACs isn't one of them. The subject incident was clearly an attempt to cover up ATC incompetence. http://www.awp.faa.gov/new/info_cd_s...2/2_169_01.pdf |

I don't think it is a felony to lie to any Federal Official (after all
their kids do it to them all the time). The FBI would LIKE YOU TO THINK it is a crime to lie to them, but it is not. Now under oath or under testimony, that is a DIFFERENT matter. Lieing CAN be a crime, but not in casual conversation or even under questioning, if not under oath or in a hearing etc. Larry Dighera wrote in message . ..

So you feel that ATC failing to perform duties REQUIRED by regulations/orders is a good thing? Would I rather have controllers sitting at a desk doing reports or working a station splitting work with other controllers? They are allowed a certain number of hours to work. The FAA isn't hiring enough controllers to account for the current staffing shortages and it will get worse. If a controller is filling out paperwork, that controller isn't working aircraft. Which is safer? Perhaps the requirement is what needs to be changed. There are times when ATC has discretion in reporting an incident. The reporting of NMACs isn't one of them. The subject incident was clearly an attempt to cover up ATC incompetence. A newer thread has quite a discussion on this subject. On some things we agree and on others we don't. A NMAC is serious. The current limitations on controllers' judgement are ludicrous. D. |
