    1997-2015 Update to FAA Historical Chronology: Civil Aviation and the Federal Government, 1926-1996 (Washington, DC: Federal Aviation Administration, 1998) 1997 January 2, 1997: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an airworthiness directive requiring operators to adopt procedures enabling the flight crew to reestablish control of a Boeing 737 experiencing an uncommanded yaw or roll – the phenomenon believed to have brought down USAir Flight 427 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1994. Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. (See September 30, 1996.) January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996; October 28, 1998.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996. (See July 17, 1996; May 4, 1997.) January 9, 1997: A Comair Embraer 120 stalled in snowy weather and crashed 18 miles short of Detroit [Michigan] Metropolitan Airport, killing all 29 aboard. (See May 12, 1997; August 27, 1998.) January 14, 1997: In a conference sponsored by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security and held in Washington, DC, at George Washington University, airline executives called upon the Clinton Administration to privatize key functions of FAA and to install a nonprofit, airline-organized cooperative that would manage security issues.

  • The Mighty Ford Trimotor: Helping to Forge a Global Aviation System on June 11, 1926, the Ford Trimotor Made Its First Flight
    The Mighty Ford Trimotor: Helping to Forge a Global Aviation System On June 11, 1926, the Ford Trimotor made its first flight. The plane, produced by the Ford Motor Company, and designed by William Bushnell Stout, revolutionized air transportation around the world. The Trimotor, one of the first all-metal airplanes, was the first plane built to carry passengers rather the mail. The original 4-AT model seated eight passengers, later increased to twelve, and then thirteen passengers. The plane had three engines, which allowed it to fly higher and faster than other airplanes of the same time period. It could reach speeds up to 150 miles per hour. The plane, affectionately called the Tin Goose or the Flying Washboard, proved exceptionally reliable, able to land safely with just one of its three engines. The nicknames apparently reflected the plane’s attributes. Flying Washboard because of its corrugated external body. Tin Goose, perhaps because many called Ford’s Model T car, the Tin Lizzie. Writer Larry Janoff offers another explanation for the name: “it ‘waddled’ down the runway like a goose and the three loud engines could sound like a goose honking.” Ford, like other automobile companies, entered the aviation business during World War I, building Liberty engines. After the war, it returned to auto manufacturing until 1925. That year, Henry Ford acquired the Stout Metal Airplane Company for an estimated $1 million. In announcing his purchase on August 6, Henry Ford remarked, “The first thing that must be done with aerial navigation is make it fool-proof . What the Ford Motor Company means to do is prove whether commercial flying can be done safely and profitably.” Ford remarked that he had never been in the air and had no desire to fly.

  • Of Liability & Compensation in Air Craft Accidents
    Judicial Perception (International & Indian) of Liability & Compensation in Air Craft Accidents Dr. Bipin Kumar Assistant Professor at National Law University, Jodhpur, Rajasthan Abstract Air craft accidents are very crucial and equally complex issue in aviation litigation. It requires judicious determination as to who is liable, the nature of liability and its extent. The diversity of jurisdiction of the parties involved acts as a hindrance in determination of the liability. Further once the liability is determined, the next vital issue to be appropriately resolved compensation. Aviation is the newest mode of transportation subject to continuous modernization and thus resulting in unforeseen & unprecedented situations & problems. In such a scenario uniformity & predictability of the law & rules governing the aviation accidents becomes difficult to maintain. The “Warsaw Convention” of 1929 being the bedrock & the Montreal Convention in 1999 are significant attempt in providing for a uniform liability regime. Still, due to the constant dynamics of the aviation industry it is the courts and the judicial interpretation that serves the purpose of securing the ends of justice. This paper investigates interpretation & resolution of various issues relating to liability and compensation, in aviation accidents, by different courts across the globe. Introduction standards and rules for air navigation and sets nternational aviation has brought down the liability regime in event of death or injury the distances between the nations making in aviation accidents.
