Are you certain maintaining those technical standards would be much more efficient than the current system?

Are you certain maintaining those technical standards would be much more efficient than the current system?
- inglor_cz 1y agoCertain is a strong word, but in many other contexts, this is the actually used system, even in aviation. The FAA requires certain standards of maintenance for aircraft, for example, but individual mechanics aren't FAA employees.
- estearum 1y agoYeah, maintenance seems extremely different from ATC though. Defining and enforcing maintenance standards is trivial and happens well outside the second-to-second operational loop of aircraft actually coordinating.
- ethbr1 1y agoConsidering the FAA has been fucking around for decades attempting to recapitalize and modernize the ATC network -- yes. See: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-25-108162 https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-25-108162 And I do not use "fucking around" lightly. The FAA's repeatedly delayed and ineffective upgrade effort makes even the original healthcare.gov look like the Apollo program.
