WASHINGTON - The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday said it is finalizing new rules requiring charter, commuter, air tour operators, and aircraft manufacturers to implement a key safety tool aimed at reducing accidents.
The issue of safety management has gotten new attention after a mid-air cabin panel blowout on a new Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 plane. The FAA barred Boeing from expanding 737 MAX production and ordered the planemaker to develop a comprehensive plan to address "systemic quality-control issues" within 90 days.
The NTSB said previously "too many operators either do not have one in place or have an ineffective one... It’s time more got on board. The risk to the flying public is too great not to." Earlier this month, changes to B.C.'s Motor Vehicle Act quietly came into effect, prohibiting the use of fully automated self-driving vehicles.The new legislation restricts someone from driving Level 3 or higher automated vehicles, as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers , and also prohibits the use of features that cause a vehicle to operate as a Level 3 or higher automated vehicle.
