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 an invaluable resource for aviation safety, offering limited immunity for incident reporting, maintaining a detailed database, providing research, and publishing a monthly electronic summary called "Callback."
- High fuel prices, particularly for 100LL avgas, are prompting pilots to fly less, raising concerns about maintaining currency and experience, which could affect safety, and highlighting the uncertain future of 100LL.
- Pilots planning to attend EAA AirVenture Oshkosh are strongly advised to prepare by immediately reading and understanding the event's NOTAM, available for download on the official website.
