Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aviation Safety, Do Unapproved Parts Pose a Safety Risk?: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management and the District of Columbia of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate; One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, May 24, 1995
Now, you will find in my statement that we have submitted for the record, as well as in the exhibits, all of the audits that we have done on this problem, putting a face and a number on the size of the bogus parts problem. The faa did try to pick apart our audit numbers, but they cannot. For example, the ntsb had reported a number of incidents, so the faa sent their people back out to re-examine the faa reports, and they determined that there were other issues, such-as mainte nance, involved. The faa tried to do the same thing in our audits. They went back out and said they looked at parts, but what, in fact, occurred is they looked at similar parts or other applications and concluded that many of them were close enough. That is not good enough, and we are confident that our numbers were good. Here is what our audits found in a very brief summary.
