On Wednesday evening, the Army Black Hawk Helicopter collided with an American Airlines flight near the Ronal Dragan Washington National Airport, causing all 67 aircraft to have a tragic death.
This fatal collision has caused serious concerns about US aviation safety, especially in many near -miss generated nearly three times a week.
“FAA's permanent bureaucracy has decided to give birth to too many white men.”
December, BLAZETV The new original documentary “Countdown for the next aviation disaster” has been released.
BlazetV host of “STU DOES AMERICA” STU BURGUIERE He digs into a bureaucratic red tape defeating the Federal Aviation Bureau, preventing employees preventing employee arrangement, and hindering upgrading overdue technology.

The pilot and the former controller lob mark, “Half of the domestic controller, works for 6 days for 10 hours. That is essential.”
“Many other incidents that are held every week in our system do not give news every night, because some controllers and pilots caught it before it was inconvenient.” I did it.
FAA has about 1,000 controllers that have been fully certified 10 years ago, despite the increase in air traffic.
June 2023, Inspector's Ministry of Transportation Bureau Report It turns out that 77 % of important facilities are below 85 % of the FAA.
In April, a Ronal Dragan Washington National Airport Air Control has told a pilot in the southwest to turn into another commercial jet that is about to take off.
A few days later, FAA issued A Memo The controller requests “at least 10 hours of break from the end of the work to the start of the shift.”
However, the new command could not deal with the basic controller shortage.
Robert Poole, the founder of The Reason Foundation, told Burguiere that the technology used by air control officers is surprisingly outdated.
He pointed out that one example was the use of a “paper flight strip” to track an airplane.
“A small printer is off the controller workstation,” the pool explained.
FAA has been trying to update the paper system digitally since 1983, but the plan is delayed than the schedule and has exceeded the budget.
The pool confirmed November 2023 Report From the FAA, which revealed that the agency is still using the floppy disk.
The report also stated that the agency also uses outdated equipment that cannot use replacement parts.
“The beacon was used to determine the location of an aircraft with a work transparonder,” read the report. “It contains 331 units between 28-46 years old. Many of these systems are before digital, and many parts are no longer supported because they no longer support these systems or are no longer supported. “
In addition, many individuals with specialized knowledge to correct such radar equipment are aging from labor.
The FAA uses more than 1,200 equipment and landing systems that are no longer supported by manufacturers created by manufacturers.
“The FAA has no intellectual property rights to create a unique part,” said the report.
The pool said in the media that the surprising safety report was “not virtually noticeable.”
Sean Nation, a lawyer of Mountain States Legal Foundation, explained to BLAZETV that FAA had significantly changed the employment process of the Air Control 10 years ago.
“Until 2014, they used the merit -based test,” Nation said. “However, the permanent bureaucracy of the FAA has determined that it produces too many white men to become an air control officer. They changed their employment process and the new first step, a biography questionnaire. I decided to introduce it.
The country that appeals to the FAA claimed that the employment practices of the institution are not legal.
In 2022, Former Secretary of Transport, Pete Battigeg, declared that 3 % of the FAA's workforce would be “targeted individuals.”
“Targeted disability” was defined as “both ears, complete blindness, limb deficiency, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epidemic, severe intellectual disorders, mental disorders, and lodgic.”
In a statement to BLAZETV, FAA stated that hiring more controllers under the Biden administration is “the highest priority” for agencies.
The agency pointed out that there is “implementation”[ed] Repeat the employment campaign with the goal of “reach”[ing] More young people with a variety of backgrounds. “
