Commercial Airline Safety Oversight by Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and, Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate Book PDF Summary
The National Safety Transportation Board conducted an examination of U.S. civil aviation accidents involving commercial passenger and cargo carriers from 2000 through 2009, and this study shows that there is a drop in the accident rate when measured by the departures and numbers of flight hours. That's the good news for the American traveling public. And this is a credit to all the hard work put in by the FAA, airlines, airline manufacturers, and other stakeholders. Nevertheless, we cannot rest. We must maintain constant vigilance and make sure that ongoing system improvements are made, and we need to know all of the potential mishaps that could happen.
