Odds And Ends

For years, NASAs Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) has been an invaluable, timely source of information for researchers and observers interested in how our national airspace system works. Granting limited immunity to those who complete an ASRS form and send it in is one of the few things the FAA has done right in the enforcement arena. In addition to maintaining a detailed database of submitted incidents (which likely didnt make even the trade press), the organizations Web site (asrs.arc.nasa.gov), includes free and immediate access to a wide variety of research papers and other resources to anyone interested in learning more about the "real world" of aviation.

Key Takeaways:

  • NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) is a vital resource for aviation safety, offering a detailed incident database, research papers, and the monthly "Callback" summary, with limited immunity granted to reporters.
  • Rising fuel prices are significantly impacting general aviation pilots, leading to reduced flying and concerns about maintaining pilot currency and safety, while also raising questions about the future availability of 100LL.
  • Pilots planning to attend EAA AirVenture Oshkosh are strongly advised to promptly read and understand the event's Notam for safe preparation.
