U.S. Representative Ben Chandler (D-KY) is critical of the FAA taking so long to implement National Safety and Transportation (NTSB) board recommendations.
The recommendation in particular is that air controllers double-check runway assignments for departing passenger aircraft.
This suggestion was made after a deadly passenger jet crash in Lexington-KY on August 27- 2006. A ComAir jet mistakenly tried to take off on a runway that was too short- killing all 49 people aboard- including 2 from the Kansas City Metro.
You would think the FAA would IMMEDIATELY implement such logical- life-and-death suggestions....
