This study includes a review of the predominant safety issues which affect the commuter airline industry; and a review of the relationship of the Federal regulators to the commuter airlines. The Safety Board developed the basis of the study from its 1972 special study of air taxis, the Board's accident statistics, and accident investigation experience, and form an extensive field survey. The study discusses the operational, maintenance, training, and regulatory areas of the industry and analyzes safety deficiencies. The Board concludes that the basis to sound commuter airline safety must come from a coordinated program which includes the implementation of the new 14 CFR 135, Federal Aviation Administration surveillance and enforcement efforts, and a strong safety-oriented posture by commuter managers. Coupled with this program must be the permanent recognition by the Federal Aviation Administration of the commuter industry as an airline industry rather than as a segment of general aviation. Finally, the Safety Board makes a number of safety recommendations to the FAA designed to enhance the commuter airline industry.
