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… (money.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Flight safety is a concept that is perhaps easier to understand than clean water or air quality, food supply protection, drug safety and efficacy, fiduciary integrity, sound banking practice or other regulatory subjects. All are aimed at public safety.
How true Allan...and dont forget, the EPA has almost completely been shut down.
Oh, lovely. This is exactly what I was concerned about when Trump signed that two-for-one executive order: many regulations involve public health and safety, as well as consumer protection....
So, who is going to determine which two Airworthiness Directives are to be rescinded for each new one issued?
From the January 30 Order:
Section 1. Purpose. It is the policy of the executive branch to be prudent and financially responsible in the expenditure of funds, from both public and private sources. In addition to the management of the direct expenditure of taxpayer dollars through the budgeting process, it is essential to manage the costs associated with the governmental imposition of private expenditures required to comply with Federal regulations.
Toward that end, it is important that for every one new regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently managed and controlled through a budgeting process.

In part, I agree and disagree with you. It IS political but I disagree with your assertion on prudence. It was not intended as sarcasm. The reasonable and prudent person would view that this, and certain other, Executive Orders were not thought through. It appears to be an indiscriminate attack on the machinery with a fire axe. IMO, this is not governance. It is also one more indication of President Bannon's agenda.
And since it affects AD, it is also aviation related.

Any sane person would realize that this executive order(NOT a regulation) was written to do exactly what Trump said - stop ALL government regulations(Safety IS part of ALL, you do realize).Therefore, there is no sane reason to believe that it will be altered in any way.
Further, as any person that has passed a 6th grade civics class knows, an executive order cannot be "adjusted." It can only be undone by a new executive order specifically stating that it overrules the previous one.
The post by Joel is very prudent, as it asks a question about AD's based upon the REALITY of the executive that Trump signed and what Trump said the intent of that executive order was, and THAT also is what the entire article was discussing.
In fact, the ONLY person that brought politics into the discussion was YOU. To a sane person that makes YOUR post the imprudent post. Funny how FACTS and REALITY work, isn't it?
