    Juan, this is too long a comment but felt it needed to be said. Not to be a Debbie Downer but, as a retired FAA Aviation Safety Operations Inspector of 12 years service after mandatory retirement from a Part 121 air carrier, I can only say that the many hats any FSDO inspector has to wear, is overwhelming. My stress level during my tenure as a POI in the Houston, Texas FSDO tripled from my 121 days. Why? Workload and lack of adequate personnel. The pressure from my sincere desire to oversee the safe performance of all my operators with oversight of five or six Part 135 operators, three ag operators, and four flight schools, the lack of hours in a day, then throwing in accident investigation (NTSB doesn't send a team to investigate the Cessna 172 that augers in and kills 2 people unless there is a celebrity onboard), initial CFI check rides, violation investigation duties, and dozens of other functions, ultimately cost me my medical certificate.
    When I hired in and was schooled by a seasoned inspector, the first piece of advice he gave me? "Understand this. On the FIRST day on the job, you will have a desk piled high with unfinished work. On the LAST day on the job, your desk will be piled high with unfinished work. You are going to have to accept that premise, I promise." In my case, I hated that premise and it ultimately ate my lunch.
    Warbird oversite? I'll venture the Collings deceased POI had experience that was largely irreplaceable, I'd also bet that the original Collings POI had a similar workload that I've described above. I would hope that the management at the FSDO that held Collings certificate had some sort of arrangement with a remote POI inspector with B-17 experience to fill in for the deceased POI. But getting the remote inspector's schedule to fit with Collings oversight needs just fell through the cracks and didn't happen as it should have. The average ops inspector today never touched a B-17, let alone evaluated a pilot in one. How many inspectors out there are typed in one? Even most maintenance inspectors lack lots of experience on round engines today.
    The FAA general aviation side of the house is waaay understaffed. Is this the ONE answer? No, but it is a big part of the deficiency of the FAA. Find the funds from the BILLIONS WASTED by Congress DAILY. Put a chunk of the money into building the agency up by hiring more qualified, conscientious inspectors. That would be a big step forward!

    Juan: really well done summary...as always, thank you for your professional approach! In your explanation of "the parts" (91, 135, 121), you really make a great point that people wanting to operate "for pay" have some options...however, you left out 91 subpart K (fractional) and Parts 141 and 142 (which I would summarize as flight schools). The problem that I see is if we make EVERYBODY (all wanting to operate for hire) "pick a part" (besides straight 91) we risk two things: (1) stiffling aviation; (2) overloading the FAA (which then also stiffles aviation AND gives the FAA a bad name). So, I guess I'd summarize "be careful what you wish for".

    Hi Juan. Greetings from Ireland. I know that in this kind of situation comments need to be brief but you and your viewers may find this story interesting. A couple of years ago my immediate neighbour (Irish spelling) went to the USA on some business for his company whose headquarters are in Atlanta Georgia. These events usually include some little perks and in this case one was a helicopter trip over the grand canyon. This went very well and a great time was had by all . Some days time after his return we heard of a crash of a helicopter crash in the canyon .While he was somewhat concerned about the consequences we thought that with all of the helicopters in the area the chances of it being his one were remote but it transpired that it was indeed the same one and the pilot and others died. Mostly UK tourists. I think that they actually landed in the canyon and that this was the where the problem arose with the fatal flight. I love your Chanel and when it come to avation you are the greatest by a country mile as we say in Ireland.

    In this "Information Age" Juan continues to get right to the heart of the safety management issues. The Part 91 revenue operators are well advised to take some proactive steps to develop model regulations for these unique flight experiences.
    The interested public will find that the HANDWRITTEN letter to a legislator will nearly always be forwarded by staff to be personally read. They know if one person takes the trouble to hand write thousands of others are thinking the same thing. A mere handful of such letters does have an impact, in my personal experience. We can magnify Juan's concise overview with a little individual involvement.

    • @donmertle9099

      The safety management of Part 91 revenue is now largely self regulated. In the B-17 crash even the existing rules were not monitored because, there was not even a procedure to monitor and assign a replacement FAA official to fill in to a vacancy. Juan put it simply and bluntly, the paying public deserves a reasonable standard of safe operations in this sub-category of general aviation. Unlike a commercial taxi the aircraft can’t just pull off to the shoulder when something goes wrong. Trucks, buses, trains, ships and aircraft have inherent dangers of size and speed. We are 100 years past the self regulation era.

    @arthouston7361 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One of the problems we face as aviators in America is when the NTSB and the FAA decide to "do good," they often overshoot the mark and we lose another increment of freedom. Eventually, we could end up like Europe, where it is virtually impossible to fly a general aviation aircraft unless you are VERY wealthy. Wealthy enough for all of the system fees, fuel taxes, paperwork filings, and all of the extra costs associated with a government that wants to "make things safer for everyone." When I was a young man, one could memorize the FARs, with no more effort than the 23rd Psalm. With every year, we are getting closer and closer to not being able to fly at all without some minor violation. This is because regulations are not designed to allow people to do things. No, they are designed to keep people from doing things, and the unintended consequences are growing exponentially. If you want safety, how about we hold someone accountable for not replacing the inspector who passed away, and THEN talk about more regulations? I give us 15 years before you have to go on line and download a code to put in a newer model transponder before you are allowed to take off at all. Imagine...every flight is by permission of the government. Anyone up for that?? It's where we are headed. Out.

    Thank you for sharing this important report. Amazing - I was almost done writing a nice response then my carefully crafted comment completely disintegrated into thin air. Now I'm ps'd. Perhaps someone got a potato chip up their kasunheidt b/c I was noticing a similarity between the FAA and the FDA, which has had problems with decision delays with respect to the coronavirus vaccines, to the detriment of thousands of lives. No sugar coating this one. Debbie Downer be damd. I can understand that people who work in federal institutions have legitimate stresses. We all do, but why don't more of us call out the garbage that goes on under the radar?
    If they can't or aren't doing their job for whatever the reason, it does make sense that people in the industry or various groups get together and devise a cogent plan.
    It has been hard to understand why some of these businesses don't regulate themselves better in a manner of speaking, in the absence of normal guidance. I still wonder how 1 guy only could wind up trying to keep a B-17 going?
    There is a level at which safety must not be compromised. If you can't fly safely, then at some point you don't fly. That call is ultimately the responsibility of every pilot out there. We make our decisions in this life, and then we have to live with them. Or not.
    Thanks again for your work and a very good report.

    Wonderful Juan
    These are aproppiate comments on the issues and recomendations posed by the NTSB.
    Your comments are the result of real knowledge and experience. They come from a professional, and at the same time, private, passionate aviator.
    Freedom comes with responsibility. You do not have to expect to be government to solve all problems. Or, else what do you want freedom for?
    It's Part 91 beneficiaries, be it warbirds, parachute, and even private pilots and amateur builders to address and correct these problems. Such as falling planes over houses and even moving cars, or B200's stall spinning on takeoff. These are not 'unfortunate accidents', it's an established tendency.
    It has to be cured, not only because insurance premiums, but because, as Richard VanGrunsven once wrote that as a result of poking that bear, you don't want, you won't even like government step in.
    To conclude, this same idea could be applied to the NRA guys.

  • @alasdaircrawford2695

    There is a lot of variation in GA. That’s a good thing. A balloon flight or backcountry flight in your husky for that matter is always going to have different risk profiles than a charter or airline operation. Would hate to see all the little guys regulated out of viable existence. I don’t think a Part# is the issue here. Put any number on a reg. you want and still someone will try to work an angle around it. Not convinced it’s a lack of adequate and appropriate regulations rather encouraging people (regardless of part) not to willfully skirt them.

    I wish one day you would sit down and do a TH-cam live. Kind of a Q and A.
    Then you can receive super chats and donations. I think TH-cam takes about 30% of that but sure would be neat to have a campfire Q&A live.

    Another great video by Juan. But for fun, can anyone identify buy sound what took off at 10:35Ish? Lots of power, multiple engines but sounded like a flight of two or more and not a twin.

    Funny was going to mention our N..Z captain who took us up in balloon in Capidocia Turkey. Winds were blowing but 200 balloons went up no accidents. Our captain cancelled came back next day, great flight, little winds, more balloons safe landing on the trailer...= respect. Sounds like short of staff, and protected species, wonder if same in Australia?

      @@DumbledoreMcCracken Thanks for your reply. I can see how potential customers could determine some of these things, but other checklist items would be unknowable by the customer, like drug use or knowingly violating the rules. I suppose one could just ASK the pilot, if given the opportunity, questions about each of these. I say "Good luck to you."

    Not a fan of increasing the requirements on revenue operations in Part 91. There's no way they're not going to implement it without stepping on low intensity "commercial" operations. Remember, the restrictions on a private pilot are extremely strict when it comes to any type of revenue. Take a picture out of your window as you're flying along. Someone sees it and wants a print for their wall. If they pay you for that print, instantly that was a commercial revenue flight. Perhaps if they could somehow effectively implement a revenue % threshold. In other words, if in any given year, you take in flight revenue that exceeds 30% of your flying costs, then you need stricter regulation.

    SMS draws risk specially after the fact to determine the Risk Number during the incident. I see this more useful to modify policy than to operations. I am talking about part 121. Like my old man use to say there no substitution for common sense.

    Juan, you mentioned that the FAA monitors and promotes aviation? Surely it would be better to separate those two duties and give enforcement priority. It does seem that the FAA got into bed with the management at Boeing which led to the two tragic 737 crashes?
