Karantenetid for inspektører

FAA har innført en to års karantenetid for inspektører som ønsker å begynne i flyselskaper for å representere disse overfor FAA. Ordlyden i meldingen finner du under. Her i Norge har jeg registrert kritikk av LT som benytter ex SAS flygere til å inspisere/kontrollere f.eks. Norwegian og for den saks skyld eget selskap. Men det som fremkommer er en annen problemstilling; en vil bekjempe svingdørprinsippet.

The U.S Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule prohibiting carriers and “other certificate holders from employing certain former FAA aviation safety inspectors as company representatives to the agency for a period of two years after they have left the agency”.

The FAA explained that the prohibitions apply “if the former FAA employee directly served as or was responsible for the oversight of a Flight Standards Service aviation safety inspector and had direct responsibility to inspect, or oversee the inspection of, the operations of the certificate holder. This rule will also apply to persons who own or manage fractional ownership program aircraft that are used to conduct certain commercial operations”.
