Moving America Safely: Annual Performance Report, 2005. FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Air Traffic Organization.

摘要

Fiscal year 2005 was a banner year for the Air Traffic Organization, matched by an unprecedented safety record. For the fourth year in a row, there were no fatal flight-related accidents in the commercial aviation system a system that handled more than 18 million flights in fiscal year 2005 alone. While the recent accident in Lexington is a stark reminder of the need to continuously improve, aviation remains the safest way to travel. In 2005, we installed more than 2,300 new systems and equipment, hired 438 new controllers and saved the airline industry billions of dollars in fuel costs. All of this was done while trimming our management ranks and reducing overhead costs.
