Summary
The FAA's acting administrator, Billy Nolen, announced a safety review after a series of close calls involving major commercial airlines. Nolen has called a meeting of airline and general aviation officials to discuss safety next month. He has also implemented new protocols to ensure that bad data from the database cannot affect the backup database. The FAA is facing questions from senators on recent close calls between large commercial aircraft in New York and Austin, Texas. The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating an incident involving a United Airlines flight that departed from Maui's Kahului Airport in Hawaii on Dec. 18.
