Fatigue Risk Management in Aviation Maintenance: Current Best Practices and Potential Future Countermeasures
"The unregulated hours and frequent night work characteristic of maintenance can produce significant levels of employee fatigue, with a resultant risk of maintenance error. Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) are widely used to manage fatigue among flight crew and drivers of commercial vehicles, but comprehensive approaches to fatigue risk management are still uncommon within maintenance organizations. In the wider transport industry, the objective of most FRMS has been to reduce fatigue to an acceptable level. Two additional objectives can be identified for FRMS in the maintenance environment: reducing or capturing fatigue-related errors, and minimizing the harm caused by fatigue-related errors. A range of countermeasures can help to achieve these three objectives in aviation maintenance. Some of these countermeasures are currently being applied within the industry, while others may become feasible in the future. The data available on best practices for fatigue risk management in aviation maintenance are continually evolving. This should be considered an interim report."

Air Traffic Organization 2012 Safety Report
"The number one priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is safety. Because of the agency's commitment to this priority, the United States boasts one of the safest airspace systems in the world. Some 99.997 percent of all air traffic operations occur without incident and in full compliance with Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures. The foundation for this success is the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Safety Management System (SMS), a holistic approach to safety--including safety policy, safety risk management processes, safety assurance programs, and a proactive safety culture--that enables the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] to identify and mitigate risks before they jeopardize the safety of our National Airspace System (NAS) and to focus its efforts on continuously improving safety performance. Drawing on information gathered by numerous data collection and analysis tools, reporting programs, audits, and assessments, this Air Traffic Organization Safety Report describes our air traffic safety performance for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012. It also highlights some of the significant changes that the FAA has made in its approach to risk identification, analysis and mitigation. Even as its air traffic safety indicators confirm that it is meeting and exceeding stringent performance targets, the FAA is investigating and employing new safety metrics that provide better insight into the actual safety performance of the NAS and the root causes and contributing factors of the most serious hazards. These metrics have been made possible by a significant increase in the amount of safety data that the agency collects, as well as continual enhancement of the ATO's Risk Analysis Process (RAP) for airborne incidents, including the development of a second RAP for surface incidents. Robust RAPs, leveraging the FAA's vastly expanded field of data resources, provide a more comprehensive analysis capability critical to proactively identifying and managing safety risks in the NAS."

Evaluation of Aviation Maintenance Fatigue Countermeasures Training
"A major airline volunteered to help the Federal Aviation Administration Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) test a fatigue countermeasures training adapted for maintenance employees by providing employee participants and a training facility. The three-hour classroom training was developed, delivered, and evaluated by CAMI. Written tests and self-reports were used in the evaluation of the training to measure changes in employee
knowledge, attitude, and behavior regarding fatigue and how to manage the associated risk. Questionnaires were administered up to one week before training, at the end of training, and six weeks following training. The training was effective in increasing employees' general fatigue knowledge. Training also had an immediate positive affect on employees' awareness of the importance in and commitment toward managing fatigue; however, their commitment, motivation, and self-efficacy toward fatigue management
significantly declined six weeks following training. At follow-up, there were increases in consistent use of a few good sleep routine habits and avoidance of the majority of sleep routine and health and fitness bad habits, but there was no real impact on good work-life
habits. Additionally, the occurrence of good work-life habits declined. Follow-up results suggest the maintenance organization needs to better support fatigue management in the work environment to realize long-term organizational benefits of fatigue countermeasures training. A computer-based version of the fatigue countermeasures training is available online (MXfatigue.com) at no cost."

Criminal Acts Against Civil Aviation, 1992
"Civil aviation overall continued to be the object of numerous criminal acts in 1992, but, in those instances where attacks resulted from factors other than personal motivation, the factors tended to be regional, rather than global, in nature. Accordingly, the geographical distribution of incidents varied widely: from a high of 34 in Europe to a low of 4 in North America. Most criminal acts against civil aviation in Asia were the result of internal ethnic or religious confrontations. These included rocket attacks against airports and aircraft by Afghan guerrillas as well as violence against Air India offices in both Bangladesh and Pakistan by Muslims protesting Hindus' destruction of the mosque in Ayodhya, India. For the first year since 1986, there were no projectile attacks against Narita Airport in Japan, the site of attacks and protests since before its construction even began in 1969. Although contractors and politicians associated with the airport continue to be the targets of leftist radicals, Narita Airport has been eclipsed as an issue by the military, the monarchy, and what the leftists term Japanese economic imperialism. The most significant aviation incident in Asia, the hijacking of a Vietnam Airlines aircraft by a former South Vietnamese Air Force pilot living in the U.S., may not bode well for the future as Vietnamese expatriates attempt to frustrate moves by both U.S. companies and the U.S. government to do business with the regime in Hanoi."

Press Release - Secretary Mineta Re-Opens Skies to General Aviation [September 14, 2001]
"Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta has approved restoration of the next phase of national air service, allowing certain general aviation flights back into the air effective at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time today. 'Effective today, general aviation -- that important segment of aviation consisting of privately owned and operated aircraft -- will be allowed to resume flights operating under Instrument Flight Rules, or IFR,' Secretary Mineta said. 'Under IFR, certified pilots operate under direction from air traffic controllers, after filing specific flight plans with the FAA.' Temporarily, however, general aviation flights will not be allowed to fly within 25 nautical miles of New York City and Washington, D.C. Those restrictions will be kept in place until further notice as officials continue to assess the recovery situation in those cities over the near term. The Secretary's decision today also permits the FAA to allow private aircraft owners to evacuate their aircraft under visual flight rules from harm's way during the predicted approach of Tropical Storm Gabrielle within the states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. Secretary Mineta said he is hopeful that the remaining general aviation flights, those operating under Visual Flight Rules, can resume flying later this weekend. Commercial flights were allowed to resume on Thursday, contingent upon airline and airport compliance with heightened security standards established by the Federal Aviation Administration."

Review of Recent Laser Illumination Events in the Aviation Environment
"Flight crewmember exposure to laser light, while operating an aircraft at night, has resulted in glare, flashblindness, and afterimage. Temporary visual impairment and the distraction, disorientation, and discomfort that can accompany it often result in hazardous situations. A database of aviation reports involving laser illumination of flight crewmembers has been established and maintained at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute. A review of recent laser illumination reports was initiated to investigate the significance of these events."

Environmental Assessment for Terminal Area Improvements, Charleston International Airport
"Charleston International Airport (CHS or the Airport) is operated by the Charleston County Aviation Authority (CCAA or the Authority) under a Joint Use Agreement with the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Air Force owns and operates the airfield as part of the Charleston Air Force Base and the CCAA owns approximately 1,300 acres for civilian aviation use, including passenger, cargo, general aviation, and aircraft manufacturing uses. The proposed action includes an expansion of the passenger terminal by approximately 100,000 square feet, expansion of the passenger terminal apron area, and expansion of the passenger terminal parking garage and surface vehicle parking at Charleston International Airport (CHS) . The purposes of the proposed improvements are to accommodate FAA and Department of Homeland Security programs, support passenger and air carrier growth, improve space efficiency, and achieve compliance with State adopted building and life safety codes. The need for the proposed improvements are based on inefficiencies and deficiencies in the existing terminal layout and building systems, inadequate number of passenger boarding gates for existing and forecast future conditions, noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and projected shortfalls in parking spaces based on forecasted passenger activity."

Report to Congress: National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS), 2019-2023
From the executive summary: "The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) report for Fiscal Years (FY) 2019 to 2023 is submitted to Congress in accordance with title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.), section 47103. As required by the statute, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) '...shall maintain the plan for developing public-use airports in the United States.' The statute also requires that: 'The plan shall include the kind and estimated cost of eligible airport development the Secretary of Transportation considers necessary to provide a safe, efficient, and integrated system of public-use airports adequate to anticipate and meet the needs of civil aeronautics, to meet the national defense requirements of the Secretary of Defense, and to meet identified needs of the United States Postal Service.' The FAA does not control which routes or airports the airlines serve. Nor does the FAA dictate or limit where privately owned aircraft can fly. Rather, the FAA's responsibility is to work with State and local units of government, as well as other stakeholders, to ensure effective planning of a safe and efficient system of airports to support the needs of the civil aviation industry."

Field Evaluation of Whole Airliner Decontamination Technologies for Narrow-Body Aircraft
From the Abstract: "The outcome of a field evaluation of AeroClave's thermal decontamination system is discussed. This exercise evaluated the system both as a stand-alone technology and as a means of delivering STERIS vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP®)*. The report is submitted in the context of a decontamination technology selection exercise and work conducted on the efficacy of thermal decontamination. The field evaluation, performed on a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 aircraft, determined that the stand-alone thermal decontamination system exhibited reasonable temperature and relative humidity control capabilities. Indeed, the system reproduced the environmental conditions needed to be efficacious as an antiviral process, based on an earlier study. The thermal decontamination system also provided an effective means of providing environmental preconditioning for the use of VHP and for aeration after VHP exposure. The field evaluation did leave a number of unanswered issues which are discussed in the report. Overall, the field evaluation of both the stand-alone thermal decontamination system and the VHP add-in can be described as successful."

Liability Risk Sharing Regime for U.S. Commercial Space Transportation: Study and Analysis
This report presents the results of a study and analysis of seven issues related to liability risk-sharing for commercial space transportation. It includes public views and recommendations in addition to those of interested federal agencies, as directed by Congress. The issues are delineated as follows: (1) analyze the adequacy, propriety, and effectiveness of, and the need for, the current liability risk-sharing regime in the United States for commercial space transportation;(2) examine the current liability and liability risk-sharing regimes in other countries with space transportation capabilities;(3) examine the appropriateness of deeming all space transportation activities to be "ultrahazardous activities" for which a strict liability standard may be applied and which liability regime should attach to space transportation activities, whether ultrahazardous activities or not; (4) examine the effect of relevant international treaties on the Federal Government's liability for commercial space launches and how the current domestic liability risk-sharing regime meets or exceeds the requirements of those treaties; (5) examine the appropriateness, as commercial reusable launch vehicles enter service and demonstrate improved safety and reliability, of evolving the commercial space transportation liability regime towards the approach of the airline liability regime; (6) examine the need for changes to the Federal Government's indemnification policy to accommodate the risks associated with commercial spaceport operations; and (7) recommend appropriate modifications to the commercial space transportation liability regime and the actions required to accomplish those modifications.

Wildlife Hazard Management at Airports; A Manual for Airport Personnel
"Throughout history, humans have been intrigued and inspired by the beauty of birds and their ability to fly. Birds first took to the air about 150 million years ago. Humans first began to share their airspace only 100 years ago. Unfortunately, when aircraft and birds attempt to use the same airspace at the same time, collisions occur. Birds are not the only wildlife problem for aircraft. Deer, coyotes, and even alligators wandering onto runways can create serious problems for departing and landing aircraft. Aircraft collisions with wildlife, also commonly referred to as wildlife strikes, annually cost the civil aviation industry in the USA at least $500 million in direct damage and associated costs and over 500,000 hours of aircraft down time. Although the economic costs of wildlife strikes are extreme, the cost in human lives lost when aircraft crash as a result of strikes best illustrates the need for management of the wildlife strike problem. This manual is designed to inform airport personnel about the scope of the wildlife strike problem and to serve as a ready reference on legal authority, regulations, and the development, implementation, and evaluation of Wildlife Hazard Management Plans for airports."

Wildlife Strikes to Civil Aircraft in the United States 1990-2008
"The dramatic 'forced landing' of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River on 15 January 2009 after Canada geese were ingested in both engines on the Airbus 320 (National Transportation Safety Board 2009, Marra et al. 2009) dramatically demonstrated to the public at large that bird strikes are a serious aviation safety issue. Historically, this annual report was based on information from a portion of the available data fields contained in the National Wildlife Strike Database (i.e., annual reports from 1994-current). These reports provided summary information on the nature of wildlife strikes in a format that was found useful by the aviation industry. However, the National Wildlife Strike Database was made available by the FAA to the public on April 24, 2009 and interested parties now have the opportunity to query and examine the data independently. It is important to note that wildlife strike reporting is currently voluntary and un-even. Analyses of the database can produce dissimilar comparisons that involve subject matter such as airports and airlines. Future editions of this annual report will explore additional data summaries that involve all fields contained within the National Wildlife Strike Database. There continues to be a need for increased and more detailed reporting of information concerning wildlife strikes. Reported strikes have gradually increased each year since 1990 yet only 44% have provided information on the type of bird struck and only 28% of the reports identified the birds to species level."

Wildlife Strikes to Civil Aircraft in the United States, 1990-2011
"In 2011, the FAA and USDA continued to make great progress with its multifaceted approach for mitigating wildlife strikes. We have expanded outreach to increase general aviation strike reporting, continued a robust research program, and incorporated new technology to allow simplified and paperless strike reporting. The FAA also continued to provide Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding to airports to conduct Wildlife Hazard Assessments (WHAs) and develop Wildlife Hazard Management Plans (WHMPs). These efforts have led to increased strike reporting in both commercial and general aviation. While strike reporting has increased, significant, damaging strikes have remained stable. The FAA developed a new Report Wildlife Strikes awareness poster and distributed 12,000 posters to more than 4,000 Part 139 airports, General Aviation airports, aviation flight schools and the aviation industry in 2011. The distribution of strike awareness posters is one of several outreach activities to improve strike reporting and safety at airports."

Wildlife Strikes to Civil Aircraft in the United States 1990-2007
This report discusses the threat to human health and safety from aircraft collisions with wildlife (wildlife strikes). "Globally, wildlife strikes have killed more than 219 people and destroyed over 200 aircraft since 1988." This report explains the factors that contribute to this increasing threat. […] Experts within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and U.S. Air Force expect the risk, frequency, and potential severity of wildlife-aircraft collisions to grow over the next decade. The FAA has initiated several programs to address this important safety issue. Among the various programs is the collection and analysis of data from wildlife strikes. […] This report presents a summary analysis of data from the FAA's National Wildlife Strike Database for the 18-year period 1990 through 2007."

FAA's Controller Scheduling Practices Can Impact Human Fatigue, Controller Performance, and Agency Costs
"Scientific research has shown that air traffic controller scheduling practices impact controller performance and aviation safety. Controllers generally work rotating schedules during which the start and stop times vary between day, evening, and night times. Reviews by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), FAA's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and FAA's Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) Work Group have shown that individuals working erratic schedules experience fatigue, which can negatively impact controller performance and safety. In response to a number of incidents of sleeping or unresponsive controllers in 2011, FAA took action to mitigate the impact of fatigue on controller performance by revising its controller scheduling policies. For example, the Agency increased the minimum rest periods between shifts, established a fatigue risk management system, and increased the number of controllers assigned to midnight shifts. In addition, FAA began to allow 'recuperative breaks' on overnight shifts to lessen the risk of fatigue experienced by working controllers. However, facility managers raised concerns about whether the new scheduling policies actually reduce fatigue. We could not determine the extent to which these new policies impact fatigue because FAA does not have metrics to measure the effect of its scheduling practices. In addition, fatigue research, which is still ongoing, may prompt additional revisions to FAA's scheduling practices to mitigate fatigue."
