In the interest of improving aviation safety in all aspects of our aviation community please consider the following. 1. Require FAA to improve its training of Aviation safety Inspectors. This training should be accomplished by the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City not contracted out to the persons that FAA regulates. 2. Return to a higher standard in initial and recurrent training of all FAA designated Examiners. Designated Examiners conduct at least 80% of all pilot and mechanic certification. The minimal cost savings to DOT/FAA is approximately $120,000,000 per year by utilizing Designated Examiners. 3. Discontinue the use of non civil oriented persons to act as Aviation Safety Inspectors in any capacity. All Inspectors must possess civil certification with commensurate experience before they are assigned to positions of oversight in Washington DC or any other management capacity. This practice has significanlty damaged the professionalism in Flight Standards.
