    Commercial Aviation Safety Team Working Together For Aviation Safety ________________________________________________________________________ Date: June 2010 Contact: Alison Duquette, FAA, 202-267-3883 Fact Sheet Commercial Aviation Safety Team The nation’s impressive safety record is due in part to the fact that the aviation industry and federal government are voluntarily investing in the right safety enhancements to reduce the fatality risk in commercial air travel in the United States. The work of the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST), along with new aircraft, regulations and other activities, reduced the fatality risk for commercial aviation in the United States by 83 percent from 1998 to 2008. Looking ahead CAST has evolved to the point that the group is now moving beyond the “historic” approach of examining past accident data to a more proactive approach that will focus on risk prediction and mitigation strategies. The goal over the next decade is to transition to prognostic safety analysis. The increasing number of flights requires greater emphasis on acquiring, sharing and analyzing aviation safety data. Using incident data, CAST is examining emerging and changing risks to identify prevention strategies. There are few commercial aviation accidents and no common causes. Therefore, more data points are needed. Voluntary reporting programs such as the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) and the Flight Quality Assurance (FOQA) program give airlines and government insight into millions of operations so that potential safety issues and trends can be identified. The Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) program ties together the safety databases across the industry and is integrated into the CAST process. The program is evolving but has matured to the point that the FAA can now look at data from air carriers representing 80 percent of U.S.

UNITED STATES AVIATION SAFETY DATA: USES AND ISSUES RELATED TO SANCTIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY JAMES L. SIMMONS* JEFFREY S. FORREST** I. INTRODUCTION T HE WORLDWIDE commercial aviation accident rate has re- mained relatively constant during the past decade. For 40 years prior to this period, however, the global aviation industry maintained a positive rate of improved safety. Innovations in aircraft technologies and improved flight crew training pro- grams are among the factors widely credited for this long-term favorable trend; yet, more remains to be done. Even if the cur- rent accident rate continues, it is inevitable that there will be a larger number of accidents in the future if the industry's pre- dicted growth in the international aviation fleet and expansion of air service materializes. Of course, many initiatives exist with the goal of reducing the accident rate.

AMR, the holding company of American Airlines, American Eagle Airlines and AmericanConnection, which collectively serve 250 cities in 40 countries and average over 3,400 flights a day, filed for voluntary bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in a New York Federal Court.1 The roots of this legacy airline run deep. What is now American Airlines (“American”), principle subsidiary of AMR, started out as American Airways in the 1920s – the pioneer age of aviation. AMR is one of four remaining legacy carriers to have survived the Great Depression, 1978 Airline Deregulation, September 11 and the Great Recession that began in late 2007. Slowly fading from our consciousness are the legacy airlines of the past: TWA, Eastern, and Pan American. Only United, Delta, U.S. Airways and AMR still exist. The fact that AMR held out to the end was a point of pride, mostly for 2003-2011 Chairman and CEO Gerard Arpey, because Arpey saw bankruptcy as a sign of failure.

  • Fact Sheet: the Growth in Greenhouse Gas Emissions From
    The Growth in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Commercial Aviation Part 1 of a Series on Airlines and Climate Change October 2019 This fact sheet begins a series on commercial aviation, by examining the impact the growth of air travel and freight will have on greenhouse gas emissions. The second installment will feature mitigation efforts and industry commitments to reduce its contribution to climate change, and our final issue will examine the effects of a warming planet on industry operations. In 1960, 100 million passengers traveled by air,1 at the time a relatively expensive mode of transportation available only to a small fraction of the public. By 2017, the total annual world-wide passenger count was 4 billion.2 The “hypermobility”3 of air travel is available to greater numbers of people worldwide, with rapid growth in aviation projected for developing nations and sustained growth in the large established aviation markets of developed countries. While our collective use of automobiles, our production of electricity, and the industrial and agricultural sectors each exceed the climate change impact of commercial aviation, passenger air travel is producing the highest and fastest growth of individual emissions,4 despite a significant improvement in efficiency of aircraft and flight operations over the last 60 years. Airline Energy Intensity and Emissions From 1970 to 2016 in the United States, engine and design technology advances, improvements in air traffic operations, denser seat configurations, and higher passenger loads together reduced the energy intensity of air travel, expressed as British Thermal Units (BTUs) per passenger mile, by 75 percent.5 In the last two decades, carbon 6 dioxide (CO2) emissions from commercial aviation worldwide grew at a slower pace than the growth of the industry, but emissions from aviation have accelerated in recent years as increasing commercial air traffic continues to raise the industry’s contribution to global emissions.
