Having two pilots onboard is a vital safety asset that reduced-crew concepts are threatening, says NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy.

EASA, the FAA and IATA are increasingly using AI to process air transport incident reports in a bid to better detect safety trends—both successes and failures.

The Racer is currently in maintenance after its first 8 hr. of flight testing, during which it achieved speeds of 227 kt. in June after just seven flights.

Since 2018, only 48% of commercial air transport accidents have had a final report published, according to Gabriel Acosta, head of operational safety at IATA.

The EU has a robust system to ensure that aviators are following their equally robust set of rules—that system is laid out in the Ramp Inspection Program.
