Says Agency's Safety Goals Proceeding, But Need Funding
Below is the complete text of the presentation made Friday by
FAA Acting Administrator Robert Sturgell, before the Committee on
Appropriations, Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban
Development, and Related Agencies concerning the agency's $14.6
billion budget request for FY2009.
"We’re being particularly aggressive in
ratcheting up the level of safety, on our runways especially. Last
year, only eight runway incursions involved commercial aircraft.
That’s eight in more than 61 million
operations."
