Product Information
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 directed the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the effectiveness of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) oversight of the use of new techlogies to prevent or mitigate the effects of dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit of commercial aircraft. FAA oversees these procedures and techlogies as part of its mission to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system. In the initial phase of our research, we determined that there was only one techlogy that was developed to specifically target dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit and that this type of event occurred so infrequently that it was t practical for us to evaluate the effectiveness of FAA's oversight. However, we were able to identify relevant procedures that are more broadly targeted-for instance, at smoke, fire, or fume events. Consistent with the mandate, we gathered stakeholders' views regarding the effectiveness of FAA's oversight of these procedures and the techlogies related to preventing or mitigating the effects of dense, continuous smoke in the cockpit.Product Identifiers
