Hillary Clinton plagues aviation

Hillary Clinton plagues aviation 01/23/2004 08:44 PM

After some rich New Yorkers got killed on a helicopter sightseeing flight in Hawaii, Hillary Clinton leaned on the FAA to tighten regulations regarding such tours.  In particular she wants the FAA to eliminate the ability of flightseeing companies to operate under "Part 91" (simple) and force them to operate under Part 135 of the regulations, which is designed for small airlines basically.  This will put about 700 companies out of the air tour business by the FAA's estimate.  It is unclear that it will increase safety because (a) most of the big helicopter flightseeing operations are already Part 135 (gives them the ability to take people farther than 25 nautical miles), (b) most of the people who've been killed on air tours were killed by Part 135 operators, and (c) helicopters tend to be unsafe, even when piloted by experts.

Basically because some rich people got killed in a $1 million Part 135 helicopter Hillary Clinton wants to wipe out mom-and-pop air tour operators who fly little float planes or biplanes under Part 91.  The FAA has no statistics to show that the proposed regulations will make anyone safer and indeed hardly anyone gets killed on fair-weather airplane tours.  Here's a comment that I submitted to the FAA via their Web site:

It would be nice if all aviation could be as safe as taking a Boeing 747 from one ILS-and-radar-equipped 12,000' runway to another.  If we were to wrap additional regulations (Part 135 versus Part 91) around helicopter tours could they become as safe, per passenger-mile, as a ride in a 747?  From an engineering point of view, this doesn't seem like a realistic short-term goal.  The NASA research report "U.S. Civil Rotorcraft Accidents, 1963 Through 1997" by Harris, F.D., Iseler, L. and Kasper, E. (NASA/TM-2000-209597, USAAMCOM-TR-00-A-006) concluded essentially that helicopters were impossible for human beings to control reliably without a lot of help from computers, computers that aren't available until you get to helicopters that cost $5-10 million, 10 times the price of the helicopters that are typically used by air tour operators.

A pilot operating an air tour of any kind is already subject to more regulation than almost any American doing anything.  She needs to follow rules regarding visibility minimums, airspace, weight/balance, etc.  She needs to make sure that her aircraft is maintained at 100-hour intervals by federally certificated mechanics.  She needs to follow whatever rules are imposed by her insurance carrier.  She and her colleagues for the last 100 years have achieved a remarkably good safety record, partly because most pilots take the regulations seriously but perhaps mostly due to the fact that it is tough to get killed in a well-maintained airplane on a clear VFR day and if you take off and land at the same airport the weather isn't likely to change from clear VFR to dangerous IMC.

Layering on Part 135 regulations might make people who love regulation feel good but it is tough to see what it will do for the public.  If all the existing Part 91 rules are followed, air tours are already very safe.  Instead of putting resources into processing reams of Part 135 paperwork, why not put those resources into (1) more ramp checks to make sure that air tour operators are actually following the existing rules, and (2) certifying inexpensive helicopter autopilots and stability augmentation systems?

In the United States an incumbent Senator is basically immune to electoral challenge.  Hillary Clinton seems to be in good health.  So we can probably expect to remain in office for at least another 40 years.  That's a sobering thought for America's aviators.

Latest Philip Roth novel: Aviation and
Jews

Latest Philip Roth novel: Aviation and
Jews 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Just finished Philip Roth's latest novel, Th e Plot Against America, a worthy addition to any Jewish pilot's bookshelf.  Roth concentrates on his usual terrain of Newark, NJ Jewish family life.  This time the background is an America in which Charles Lindbergh has beaten FDR in the 1940 presidential election.  Lindbergh proceeds to negotiate deals with Japan and Germany rather than enter World War II and the federal government initiates some programs designed to disperse Jews from their traditional neighborhoods in places such as Newark out into the American heartland, e.g., rural Kentucky.

A lame ending and not as good as Am erican Pastoral, for which Roth won the Pulitzer, but a lot better than Roth's early novels and worth a try even if you were at some point forced to read Portnoy's Complaint.

Plane Crazy: Musical about golden age

Plane Crazy: Musical about golden age
aviation and the Pill 04/09/2005 05:56 AM
Cory Doctorow: My pal Suzy Conn maintains the Blogway Baby blog devoted to Broadway musicals. For as long as I've known her, she's been working steadily at a musical called "Plane Crazy," a singin', dancin' tribute to swinging sixties stewardesses in the age of the Pill, the jet, and the sexual revolution.

A year ago, I got to see the musical performed at a workshop at Toronto's Poor Alex Theatre and it was fantastic: funny, catchy, engrossing, with a really authentic sixties-kitsch feel: like Hair at 30,000 feet, with seasonings of Jesus Christ, Superstar and Germaine Greer.

The play's going to Actor's Equity Showcase production this summer, and Suzy's launched a website for it that includes MP3s/MIDIs of all the songs from the production, as well as synopses and background material on the era.

Plane Crazy is set during an explosive time in history: The intersection between the dawn of the Jet Age, the introduction of the Pill, the genesis of the modern Feminist Movement, and the Golden Age of Advertising.

Stewardesses represented the first-wave shock troops in a changing world. This was an exclusive sorority of women who had freedom. Freedom to travel wherever they wanted. Freedom to have sex with whomever they wanted. And freedom to have a career without needing the support of a man.

Alas, men were not as quick to adapt. Most guys were interested in a woman who was a cross between Betty Crocker and Betty Page - they didn't want a Betty Friedan. Society itself, as typified by the advertising industry, was also slow to adapt.

RIP Internet Explorer?

RIP Internet Explorer? 07/16/2004 04:49 PM
It's hard to imagine that anyone would continue to use Internet Explorer faced as it is with such massive security issues. If it were a car rather than a browser, it would have been scrapped. But despite very good reasons for moving browsers, people still aren't. Why? There are a multitude of reasons but by far the simplest is that average Joe doesn't know what the hell browser security issues are, or even that the browser is just a piece of software used for accessing the Internet. Thanks to Microsoft's spectacular decision (causing it to fall foul of competition law) to bundle Explorer with Windows, people don't know anything of any other browser. To many people, Explorer is the Internet.
