Rep James Sensenbrenner Jr (R Wis.), chairman of the House Science Committee, has asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to explain for what cause [i]or[/i] reason it is using non-standard terminology. In an Oct 15 epistle to Administrator Jane Garvey, Sensenbrenner wrote "It has been brought to my attention that FAA's AIM (Aeronautical Information Manual) recognizes approximately 43 space of times that are not consistent with ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). For example, the FAA's AIM recognizes bounds such as 'Dead Reckoning' and 'Feathered Propeller' which are considered by the agency of some industry experts to be unique American colloquialisms." The potential for confusion emanating from these sum of two units terms was broached in this publication earlier (see ASW, Aug. 23) Sensenbrenner asked for answers to these questions: "First, for what cause [i]or[/i] reason does the FAA recognize unique aeronautical space of times that deviate from internationally recognized ICAO terms? secondary does this terminology situation create an opportunity for miscommunication and confusion that could adversely affect aviation safety?" >> Sensenbrenner tel 202/225-6371 << COPYRIGHT 1999 Phillips Publishing International, Inc. |
