In 1996, Congress enacted the Pilot Records Improvement Act to keep unsafe pilots out of the cockpits of commercial aircraft. GAO did this study to determine (1) whether air carriers have complied with the act by requesting and receiving key documents about pilots' qualifications, performance, and training from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Driver Register (NDR), and other carriers and whether these documents have been provided on time; (2) whether carriers are aware of requirements for protecting pilots' rights; (3) what FAA has done to oversee compliance with the act; and (4) whether carriers believe the act has helped them make pilot-hiring decisions.
