Current FAA Safety Levels , Are ‘Unsustainable,’ , Expert Panel Says.
CNN reports that an expert panel has recommended several changes needed to keep air travel safe following
a series of near collisions at United States airports.
According to the panel, inconsistent funding and outdated technology are just two of the issues “rendering the current level of safety unsustainable.”.

issues we identified results
in an erosion of safety margins

According to the report, newer systems have
been layered on top of older systems, few of
which have ever been decommissioned or replaced. .
The report warns that the FAA currently
has an equipment replacement
backlog with an estimated cost of $5.3 billion.
The panel also concluded that understaffing has left the
agency without the bandwidth necessary to focus on , “sometimes longer-term, safety-critical areas.”.
The panel's recommendations come amid multiple
National Transportation Safety Board investigations
into near collisions on runways at U.S. airports
