Gov’t aircraft operations often lack FAA oversight BY JOAN LOWY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Nonmilitary government agencies own or lease thousands of aircraft, but they are often on their own when it comes to safety oversight of their operations — a situation that accident investigators say has contributed to air crashes and deaths. Federal, state and local agencies own or lease more than 2,400 nonmilitary planes and helicopters for fighting forest fires, chasing crooks, conducting scientific research and other tasks. By comparison, the world’s largest airline — created by the merger of United and Continental — and its regional carriers operate fewer than 1,300 planes. But unlike commercial airlines, government agencies are mostly left to police the safety of their flight operations themselves. The Federal Aviation Administration has long said it doesn’t have the authority to apply regulations to government agencies as long as their aircraft are engaged in public missions like firefighting or law enforcement. The FAA
also doesn’t regulate the airworthiness or maintenance of military surplus aircraft in use by government agencies. From 2000 through the first eight months of this year, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated at least 349 accidents, resulting in 135 deaths, involving aircraft owned by or operated under contract for government agencies. Problems uncovered in some of those accidents have prompted the board to host a forum beginning Wednesday aimed at getting the FAA and other government officials to discuss ways to address the issue. “The issue for us is who is responsible (for safety). We have cases now where we ask that question and no one seems to know,” said Tom Haueter, director of NTSB’s office of aviation safety. The NTSB isn’t the only one confused. John Allen, the head of the FAA’s flight standards, told a gathering of private and public aviation officials earlier this year that even his inspectors are sometimes uncertain of their role. FAA officials have asked Congress to clarify the situation but the request
“isn’t a high priority” for lawmakers, Allen said. Part of the problem is that safety regulations written with commercial and private aviation in mind don’t address government operations that are sometimes inherently risky. Assigning responsibility for safety oversight becomes even murkier when private contractors operate flights for government agencies, an increasingly common occurrence. The FAA published new guidance for government agencies and contractors in March, but safety investigators and contractors said there are still many gray areas. The NTSB forum was spurred in part by the agency’s two-year investigation of the August 2008 crash of a firefighting helicopter near Weaverville in Northern California. Nine people were killed and four others injured. The company that operated the flight misrepresented the performance capabilities of its helicopters in order to win a U.S. Forest Service firefighting contract, and then gave misinformation to its own pilots, causing them to underestimate the aircraft’s weight, NTSB’s investigation found.
Money managers mum about jackpot Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Three money managers from wealthy Greenwich, Conn., who claimed a $254 million lottery jackpot are
keeping a stiff upper lip despite a claim they’re covering for the real winner, who wants to stay anonymous. In notoriously private Greenwich, which fought
unsuccessfully to prevent out-of-towners from using its beaches, even a jackpot that would spark jubilation elsewhere is a matter of discretion. On Monday, Greg Skidmore, Brandon Lacoff and Tim Davidson came forward as the winners of the $254.2 million Powerball jackpot. A lawyer for the men said they formed a trust to manage the money after Davidson bought the $1 winning ticket at a Stamford gas station. The men sat stoically and drank bottled water as their lawyer did the talking. “And it feels good,” Skidmore said at the end. But Thomas Gladstone, who identified himself as the landlord for the men’s company, said he was surprised to learn Lacoff was among the winners because he made no mention of it when he saw him Friday. So Gladstone called Lacoff on Monday night. “He said, ‘No, I didn’t win the lottery. We’re representing the guy who did,”’ Gladstone said. “He said he represents the guy who’s staying anonymous.” Asked who the real winner was, Gladstone said, “They’re protecting him. That’s the whole purpose of putting this in this trust.” “The person that won it wants anonymity,” Gladstone said. “People get harassed and hounded when they win the lottery.”
