FAA Proposes New Pilot Training

According to CNN.com, under new proposed rules from the Federal Aviation Association, airline pilots and flight attendants would have to learn to respond to real world situations and demonstrate those skills in flight simulators and emergency drills. The FAA says these would be the most significant changes in crew training in the last 20 years. In the past, pilots only had to learn how to recognize and recover from problems, under this new proposed rule, they would have to demonstrate their skills. The FAA says this addresses issues brought up by Congress and over 25 recommendations suggested by the National Transportation Board. The goals of these new rules are meant to produce qualified crews and decrease aviation accidents. CNN says a public comment period on the rule closes on July 19, so that the FAA can spend time after that addressing the comments before making the rules official. The FAA is also working on addressing pilot fatigue, regulating flight time and rest periods as well as a rule setting minimum pilot qualifications.

This just days after Southwest Airline’s 737 made an emergency landing because of the hole in its fuselage. The planes have to be inspected every 500 cycles, in other words, every take-off and landing.
