CASB Majority Report


Other Safety Concerns

Air Carrier Maintenance and Operating Procedures - Inadequate Regulatory Control

The investigation of this occurrence revealed numerous instances of long-standing inadequacies in the air carrier's maintenance and operating procedures. In 1984, the Federal Aviation Administration, under the National Air Transportation Inspection, completed an extensive review of U.S. air carrier practices and procedures, including Arrow Air. Despite this close inspection by the regulatory authority, inadequacies continued to exist.

The CASB is concerned that such a lack of effective regulatory control and its effect upon the margin of safety may also be present in other air carrier operations.

This report and the safety action therein has been adopted by the Chairman. K.J. Thorneycroft. and Board Members:

W. MacEachem
A. Portelance
B. Pultz
F Thurston

Members N. Bobbitt, L. Filotas, D. Mussallem, and R. Stevenson dissented. A report of their dissent is available on request from the Canadian Aviation Safety Board.
