November 21, 1978. 3 pp. + appendix (13 pp.). Report to Brock Adams, Secretary, Department of Transportation; by Henry Eschweqe, Director, Community and Economic Development Div. Issue Area: Transportation Systems and Policies: Domestic Air Carrier System (2413). Contact: Community and Economic Development Div. Budget Function: Ccmmerce and Transportation: Air Transpcrtation (405). Orqanization Concerned: Federal Aviation Administration. Conqressional Relevance: House Committee cm Public Works and Transportation; Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. A review of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) enforcement of commercial aviation safety regulations revealed several problems involving scne large aircraft operators. Findings/Conclusions: Large aircraft operators who avoid compliance with commercial safety regulations not cnly have an unfair competitive advantage over commercial operators who comply with the costly commercial safety regulaticne but, in some cases, are operating unsafely. Umder existing regulations, foreign air carriers can lease U.S.-registered aircraft and operate in this country under the less stringent private requlations. This action also has ccmpetitive and safety implications. Stiffer safety regulations for private large aircraft may lead some operators to transfer their aircraft reqistrations to foreign countries, where there is littl* regulation, and then to continue operations in the United States under a foreign operating permit. FAA officials plan to upgrade private large aircraft regulations which will make them more comparable to commercial regulations. Reccamendations: Any new requlations should provide FAA field inspectors with the necessary tools to enforce compliance with the regulations. To lessen the possibility that private cperatcrs will avoid safety requlation by moving their operations and aircraft registry to a foreign country, the FAA should work with the Civil Aeronautics Board and the State Department to develop and enforce a reqirement stipulating that all foreign air carriers flying in the aited States at least meet the International Civil Aviation Orqanization's safety standards.
