Flight Safety Detectives Episode 55: Complacency hitting aviation safety from NTSB to the cockpit
PAMA
Is complacency seeping into all areas of aviation safety? From pilots doing casual preflights to the NTSB's continued refusal to do on-site investigations for most aviation accidents, John and Greg have safety concerns at all levels.
The safety culture of aviation is stagnating. The findings of the Rand Report — written more than 20 years ago — have not been implemented. It outlines issues with the NTSB organizational culture that persist today. The result is a decrease in the board's role as stated in the report: "The NTSB must be an open and impartial agent pursuing the cause of aviation."

Rolls-Royce has successfully conducted its first tests on a business jet engine using 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), it announced February 1. The demonstration, conducted at the manufacturer's facility in Dahlewitz, Germany, comes on the heels of a similar test using a Trent 1000 engine in the UK.
