  • Coburn Amendment #1752 – to Strike $6 Million for the Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) This Amendment
    Coburn Amendment #1752 – To strike $6 million for the Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) This amendment would strike funding in the bill for the Small Community Air Service Development Program, for which both President Obama or President Bush never requested funding. SCASDP was created in 2000 to increase air service at small airports SCASDP’s core objective is to award grants to airports with “insufficient air carrier service” or high air fares to be used to secure sufficient and cost- effective air carrier service.1 SCASDP grants are mainly used for revenue guarantees to attract new commercial airline routes and for marketing efforts to promote new or existing air routes. SCASDP has awarded for $146,147,822 since funding started in 2002.2 SCASDP Is Ineffective While the goal of SCASDP is for grants to establish long-term sustainable air service, the program has been unsuccessful in attaining any sustainability after the grant benefits expire. The core of the problem with SCASDP is that it is premised on temporary actions sustaining permanent benefits. In reality, most of the airports that receive these grants cannot sustain the commercial service they are seeking, as airlines discontinue the SCASDP funded route once the revenue guarantees run out. In 2008, an FAA Inspector General (IG) study reviewed SCASDP and found that “Most Projects Failed to Fully Achieve Their Objectives.” Specifically 62.5% of projects failed to attain even a single project goal, while 70% failed to fully achieve their objectives.3 SCASDP overlaps ineffectively with the existing Essential Air Service (EAS) program A similar program, Essential Air Service (EAS), subsidizes commercial flights to small community airports that operated before the deregulation of the airline industry in 1978.

  • Procedures in Complex Systems: the Airline Cockpit
    IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, SMC-27(3), pp. 302-312. PROCEDURES IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS: THE AIRLINE COCKPIT Asaf Degani San Jose State University Foundation San Jose, CA Earl L. Wiener University of Miami Coral Gables, FL ABSTRACT In complex human-machine systems, successful operations depend on a elaborate set of procedures which are specified by the operational management of the organization. These procedures indicate to the human operator (in this case the pilot) the manner in which operational management intends to have various tasks performed. The intent is to provide guidance to the pilots and to ensure a safe, logical, efficient, and predictable (standardized) means of carrying out the objectives of the job. However, procedures can become a hodge-podge. Inconsistent or illogical procedures may lead to non-compliance by operators. Based on a field study with three major airlines, the authors propose a model for procedure development which we call “The Four P's:” philosophy, policies, procedures, and practices. The various factors, both external and internal to the cockpit, that must be considered for procedure design are presented. In particular, the paper addresses the development of procedures for automated cockpits—a decade-long, and highly controversial issue in commercial aviation. Although this paper is based on airline operations, we believe that the principles discussed are also applicable to other high- risk supervisory control systems, such as space flight, manufacturing process control, nuclear power production, and military operations. I. INTRODUCTION A complex human-machine system consists of more than merely one or more human operators and a collection of hardware components.

  • Remote ID NPRM Maps out UAS Airspace Integration Plans by Charles Alcock
    PUBLICATIONS Vol.49 | No.2 $9.00 FEBRUARY 2020 | ainonline.com « Joby Aviation’s S4 eVTOL aircraft took a leap forward in the race to launch commercial service with a January 15 announcement of $590 million in new investment from a group led by Japanese car maker Toyota. Joby says it will have the piloted S4 flying as part of the Uber Air air taxi network in early adopter cities before the end of 2023, but it will surely take far longer to get clearance for autonomous eVTOL operations.

ACTION: Request for information. SUMMARY: The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) is carrying out an effort requested under the report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, to, in part, work with communities to find measures that would mitigate noise caused by defense fixed wing aviation activities. Approximately 205 active and reserve installations have been identified with “covered facilities” (hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, facilities serving senior citizens, and private residences) that appear to be located within one mile or a day-night average sound level of 65 decibel or greater of a military installation or another location at which military fixed wing aircraft are stationed. OLDCC is requesting affected communities adjacent to those 205 active and reserve installations to provide feedback through a web portal on measures to mitigate defense aviation noise for OLDCC to consider in its efforts to develop a community noise mitigation program in collaboration with the Service Secretaries. DATES: Affected jurisdictions should provide feedback by [INSERT DATE 45 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods: A web portal (https://forms.office.com/g/3pp0UCdArk) has been specifically designed to receive this feedback from these jurisdictions over a 45-day period following publication of this notice.

  • Delta Announces Four Reservations Center Closures Internationally Bangkok, Seattle, Sioux City & Tokyo
    CITY OF SIOUX CITY ____________________________________________________________ City Hall 405 Sixth Street P.O. Box 447 Sioux City, Iowa 51102 Marty Dougherty Economic Development Director 712-279-6345 For Immediate Release April 10, 2012 Delta Announces Four Reservations Center Closures Internationally Bangkok, Seattle, Sioux City & Tokyo Delta Air Lines announced the closure of four reservations centers worldwide today, including the Downtown Sioux City facility, as part of a corporate restructuring. The facilities being closed are Delta’s smallest reservation centers. The Delta Reservations Center in Sioux City has consistently been recognized as the highest performing among their 17 reservations centers around the world. Operations at the Sioux City reservations center will cease operations August 31. “We regret Delta’s decision to close the highly successful Sioux City facility,” said Mayor Bob Scott. “We are working with another firm looking to utilize our talented workforce to retain employees from the #1 performing office in the world. Delta will be held responsible for all obligations pertaining to the downtown location.” Delta employees will have the opportunity to transfer to another reservations center (Dallas or Salt Lake City), offered a severance package, or may be hired by another nationally recognized firm interested in our top producing employees and the current reservations center. Delta is obligated to pay taxes and lease payments through November 2017. Delta’s decision to close the Sioux City Reservations Center was unrelated to the recent change in air service at the Sioux Gateway Airport. Delta initiated a request for Federal Essential Air Service (EAS) with the Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) in July 2011.
