NASA Air Safety Update

NASA's National Aviation Operations Monitoring Service Project Was Designed Appropriately, but Sampling and Other Issues Complicate Data Analysis

"In reviewing a draft of this report, NASA reiterated that NAOMS was a research and development project and provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate. NASA also expressed concern about protecting NAOMS respondents' confidentiality, a concern GAO shares. However, GAO noted that other agencies have developed mechanisms for releasing sensitive data to appropriate researchers. The Department of Transportation had no comments."

Chairman Gordon, Science and Technology Committee Members Release GAO Report on NAOMS

"This was a well-designed project that failed because it was executed without proper agency oversight and didn't have the support it needed from its primary customer--the FAA," said Science and Technology Committee Chairman Bart Gordon (D-TN)."

NASA safety survey a mystery, AP

"Years after thousands of pilots told NASA about their in-flight safety experiences and NASA shut down the survey without divulging any findings, the pilots' views remain a mystery. A congressional investigation to be released Thursday offers little new insight into what the pilots said during the telephone survey or what it might reveal about safe skies. NASA cut off the interviews in 2004 and chose not to analyze the results."

Well, Thanks to Unrestrained Transfer authority granted after STS107 what can you expect from the Giant sucking sound of NEW JSC program office. ESMD/CxP

Then good Dr Porter stated we do not do this type of work anymore even when the data was collected, again Thank you for granting the Unrestrained Transfer authority.

NASA should have been investigated back when, however we are building a "NEW" rocket and we cannot do what we did and do CxP also, NASA should be very proud of this activity also.

This should be of interest for FAA NEXGEN as GAO has taken the effort off the RISKY list

I think CxP will be added to the Risk list before long.

It's good to see that the GAO confirmed essentially what the NASA IG reported over a year ago.
