Major, USAF, BSC Chief, Research Branch HQ Air Force Safety Center Policy, Research, and Technology Division ABSTRACT Commission and the NCARC both The number of commercial airplanes in service recommended that, to find a way to reduce will nearly double by the year 2015, going from aviation accidents, the FAA work with the airline about 12,000 airplanes today to over 23,000 in industry to establish some form of strategic 2015. On a worldwide basis, the data suggest safety plan. nearly a hull loss accident per week by the year 2015 at the current accident rate, which has In 1997, at an NCARC hearing, FAA and airline plateaued over the last decade. Many ideas for industry representatives testified about how they enhancing safety focus on technology were investigating the root causes of aviation improvements to airplanes. While such accidents. The FAA Deputy Director of Aircraft improvements are important, it should be noted Certification Service, Beth Erickson, testified for that their impact would not be significant unless the agency: "We had learned from past efforts they can be implemented on the existing airplane that safety improvements were better fleet. A large portion of the airplanes that will be accomplished when we worked with competent operating in 2007 have already been built, and aviation authorities--pilot unions, airlines, most of the rest have already been designed. The aircraft and aerospace manufacturers, and so data show there are significant factors outside of forth--all pooling our expertise to come up with the airplane design itself that influence the the best way to deal with safety issues.
