NTSB Most Wanted - Due January 27th @ 11:59PM

Last week, the NTSB listed their "most wanted" list for 2013. Because the NTSB is responsible for all modes of transportation, not all the items on the list are related to the air transportation industry. However, a couple of them are. Your assignment for this week is as follows:

1) Identify the two aviation items that are on the list. Select one of them and write a short paragraph summarizing the problem.

2) Do you feel that of all the possible hot topic safety issues in the industry, these are the two that should make the list? If so, why? If not, what other issues do you feel have greater importance/urgency and why?

One of my biggest goals of this course is to get you to think outside of the box in terms of your career possibilities. I will try to add a career element to any topic that we discuss.

3) Whenever something in aviation is formally identified as a "safety issue", new jobs are created. What potential do you see in the two identified areas for new jobs?

Because I am late on posting the topic, I have extended the due date by a day (due Monday instead of Sunday).

As a reminder, don't forget to send the comments that you make on other blogs.
Thanks,
Prof. Wall
