Airworthiness directives - just more burdensome regulation

Trump works to add layers of bureaucracy to the meaningless, job-killing Airworthiness Directive program:

Trump directive stalls FAA safety warnings

President Donald Trump's executive directive to restrict or postpone new government regulations for 60 days has hampered the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration to issue safety orders about aircraft.

The instructions, known as "airworthiness directives," are issued frequently, and formalize mandated inspections or modifications to correct unsafe conditions on U.S. aircraft.

The stalled directives do not mean that airlines and aircraft operators are unaware of serious safety problems. The directives are typically the last step in the safety regulatory process. The aircraft operators first receive manufacturer bulletins about the problems, but in some instances wait for final FAA notices to act, according to two industry officials.

The lack of directives from the FAA are a sign of the unintended consequences of the Trump administration's rapid efforts to halt or roll back what it sees as burdensome regulations on business, says one of the officials.

Incoming appointees to the Department of Transportation and FAA have tried not to get in the way of safety directives, say the officials, but the executive order has meant an extra layer of bureaucracy for them.

Should be no problem. Just find 2 ADs to remove before publishing the new one.

It's almost as if governing is a professional skill which needs study and experience to be able to execute well. Who knew?

Seriously, who could possibly have predicted that if you put together an Administration almost entirely devoid of any experienced politicians, Washington insiders or career beaurocrats that they wouldn't have a clue what they were doing?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

While the directives do have value....I own a 182....I get a LOT of these to read through. 98% are nothing and are handled during annual - if at all.

Frankly I'd love for these to be changed to Qtrly or even bi-annual and only send out what has to be done now.

The Senate consists of experienced politicians and insiders, and they are just rubber-stamping Trump's appointees.
