FAA vows to implement safety reforms
The Federal Aviation Administration said it will reform how it carries out certification of new aircraft.
New reforms were approved by lawmakers last week to beef up oversight of aircraft makers.
New legislation calls for transparent disclosure of safety critical information and more protections for whistle blowers.
The FAA has vowed to implement the changes after several critical reports.
"The FAA is committed to continuous advancement of aviation safety and improving our organization, processes, and culture," the agency said.
"You can’t legislate cultural change, but we’re darn sure going to try to increase the safety goals," said Senator Maria Cantwell, the top ranking Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee.
"We’re not going to pay people at the FAA to move planes faster. This is about getting safety right."
