The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) this week determined that the probable cause of the accident was the operator’s inadequate maintenance of the aircraft’s tires and the captain’s decision to carry out a rejected takeoff after V-1. The Learjet Model 60, a Part 135 charter flight operated by Global Exec Aviation, overran the runway during a rejected takeoff at Columbia Metropolitan Airport. The captain, first officer, and two passengers were fatally injured.

The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) has been following the on-going investigation into the Colgan Air accident that occurred near Buffalo, New York, early last year. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the probable cause of the crash was the "captain’s inappropriate response to the activation of the stick shaker, which led to an aerodynamic stall from which the airplane did not recover."

Last month, ACSF reached an important milestone in the launch of its Industry Audit Standard (IAS), including SMS. Two charter operators and a shared ownership operator were included in the beta test program audits conducted during December 2008.

The NTSB is encouraging pilots to review a Safety Alert regarding proper procedures for the use of deice boots.

The FAA recently published an Information for Operators (InFO) document explaining that while international standards require an aggressive approach to the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) the United States is still unable to even offer official recognition of programs to air carriers.

The ACSF Industry Audit Standard has been developed with the input and guidance of leading safety auditors, charter operators, shared aircraft ownership companies and charter consumers. Operators and other interested parties are encouraged to obtain the comprehensive documents that comprise the Industry Audit Operator Standards Manual.

AVSIS is a powerful tool to collect and analyze safety information for on-demand air charter operators and shared aircraft ownership programs.

The Air Charter Safety Foundation is encouraging all operators to introduce their flight crews to a new training tool specifically designed to improve the safety of operations at Teterboro (TEB) airport.
