07.06.11 Edition: So= mebody Listened To Us! Senator Inhofe To Introduce A 'Pilot's Bill Of Rights' = Bill Would Codify Procedures For Pilots To Respond To
Allegations
<= BR>Aero-Note: I've been advocatin= g for this since
1988... when I first published an early attempt at a <= BR>Pilot's Bill of Rights (last updated in 2009).
Through the years, we= 've gotten a tremendous amount
of support, but little action, from the = powers-that-be in
Washington... until one Senator found out just how un-American and
unfair the FAA's concept of justice truly is--fo= r himself... and
then things changed. Jim Inhofe was one of the heroes I wrote about
in my 1999 bo= ok about the long sordid FAA v Bob Hoover affair ('Air
of Injustice') and now he's proven to be as big a friend to
av= iation as he was, then, to Robert A "Bob" Hoover. I sincerely
hope this= effort passes muster in Congress and that this important
modification = in how the FAA deals with Airmen the world over is
part of the
Transformative Change that aviation <= BR>desperately needs to stay alive now and through the coming
challenge= s. -- Jim Campbell, ANN Editor-In-Chief, Aero-Activist


Tuesday afternoon on the Senate Floor, U.= S. Sen. Jim Inhofe
(R-OK), a = member of the Senate General Aviation Caucus and
Certified Flight Instr= uctor with more than 10,000 flight hours,
previewed his new Pilots Bill= of Rights. The bill, an
important measure for those interested in the = General Aviation
Community, will be introduced on Wednesday July 6, 2011.
=
There are two provisions in the bill that require the FAA
to review= current practices, and two other provisions that
make the system speci= fically more fair for pilots.

"With any bureaucracy that has the po= wer to take action against
an individual it's our job in Congress to en= sure that there are
appropriate safeguards in place to ensure that ther= e are
appropriate safeguards in place to prevent agency overreach," Inhofe said in previewing his bi= ll.

Inhofe said that the= bill does four things.

In the case there is enforcement action, th= e FAA must grant to
the pilot all of the relevant evidence, such as the= air traffic
communications tapes, flight data, investigative reports, = Flight
Service Station communications, other relevant air traffic data, 30
days before any action can actually be taken. "That is just a
m= atter of fairness," Inhofe said.= "If a person is going to be
accused of something, he has to know what = he is being accused
of."

The FAA would also be required to advi= se a pilot who is the
subject of an investigation relating to approval,= denial,
suspension, modification, revocation of an airman certificate,= of
the nature of an investigation. They would further
be required = to advise pilots that an oral or written response
to a letter of invest= igation is not required, that no action can be
taken by the FAA against= the pilot for declining to respond, that
any response can be used as e= vidence against the pilot, and that
the FAA's investigative report is available to the pilot.

S= econd, the bill clarifies "statutory deference" between the FAA
and NTSB, and allows an airman at h= is own discretion to be able to
appeal to the federal district court. <= BR>
Third, the bill will requires that the FAA simplify the NOTAM
system. Inhofe says the system does not work, and that pilots
= are required to be aware of NOTAMs that the FAA may not have
actually posted. An advisory board would b= e created to work with
the FAA to determine the best course for assurin= g that pilots have
access to NOTAMS= in a timely fashion.

Finally, the bill creates an second ad= visory board to work with
the FAA to review the grievance system associ= ated with agency's
medical certification process. Inhofe says that 28 percent of the
AOPA's legal assistance to pilots goes towards assisti= ng them with
issues related to their medical certificates. The advisory= board
would provide greater clarity in questions and reduce the instan= ces
of misinterpretation, that have in the past led to allegations of <= BR>
intentional falsific= ation against pilots. The board will be made up
of non-profit general a= viation groups, aviation medical examiners
and qualified medical expert= s.

Inhofe said the propo= sed Bill of Rights is based largely on his
personal experience last Oct= ober, when he
landed on a closed runway, missing, some said narrowly, w= orkers on
that runway. In his speech, Inhofe said by the time he realized the
runway was closed he = was committed to landing ... too low and slow
in a heavily-loaded twin-= engine airplane to execute a
go-around.

Inhofe said it took him four months to get a transcript= of the
audio recordings of his conversations with ATC, "and I'm a United
States Senator." He said = the time he was given to respond to the
allegations were unreasonable, and that in= the course of his
investigation, he found that a NOTAM advising of the closed runway
was not poste= d until 11 days after his incident. His "Pilot's Bill
of Rights" he say= s, will go a long way towards correcting those
problems.

Inhofe made his remarks prior to an un= related vote on the Senate
floor. No companion bill exists as yet in th= e House.
