NASA has made the decision to
release the results of the aviation safety survey the agency had
previously decided to withhold — but should that have been their call
alone? Last week, we asked AVweb readers who should make
such decisions when it comes to releasing safety-related studies to the
public.
A full 58% of our respondents said that all such information should
be freely accessible — as long as its availability doesn't compromise
security or defense, that is. On top of that, another 35% said
safety information should always be freely available to the
general public.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
With the FAA's revocation of AMI's jet air charter certificate, we're hearing a lot of talk that reminds us of last year's Dubai port controversy. Safety and security definitely seem to be at play in the FAA's decision, but were they overreacting? We'd like to hear what
AVweb readers think: Should foreign companies be allowed to manage the flight operations of U.S.-based charters?
