1. The Pilot Record Database (PRD) is where all the information of the pilot records is stored. It is the place where as a human resource officer I would go obtain all the information about the pilot. The clearing house is managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). All part 119 certificate holders and fractional ownerships should register with PRD and evaluate all stored data regarding pilots prior to hiring them.
2. The organization responsible for establishing technical standards is the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). They are often referred to as Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS) and can be found documents known as Annexes to the Treaty Convention on International Civil Aviation. As an engineer for the avionics company this is where I will find the specifications.
3. If the aircraft has been involved in an accident the agency responsible for investigating is the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). It is charged with the primary role of investigating, determining the likely cause, and recommending to the FAA ways of preventing future similar occurrences. Furthermore, the FAA also by default investigates all accidents in its jurisdiction, which is the United States.
4. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 often cited as the OSHA Act offers comprehensive guidelines and regulations on workplace safety and health (Schneid, 2018). It has jurisdiction throughout the United States and related territories. In the absence of an approved state plan guiding workplace safety and health, the laws will be preempted.
5. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) does not have any jurisdiction over the airline industry. The airline industry is covered by the Adamson Railway Labor Act. The agency that regulates labor relations in the airline industry is the National Mediation Board (NMB). It also does not have any jurisdiction over the aerospace manufacturing or general aviation in that matter. The NLRB’s role is limited to the private sector employees and the United States Postal Service employees.
6. The agency within the United States government that has the primary responsibility of regulating aviation safety is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (United States, 2017).
7. The Transport Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for day-to-day screening of airline passengers, baggage, and cargo. It falls under the Department of Homeland security and was created in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
8. The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the agency that airlines providing international air services to the United States are supposed to transmit crew and passenger manifests before departure. It also falls under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The transmission must occur no later than 15 minutes after the aircraft departing the host country. Only appropriate officials can make changes to the manifest after it has been transmitted. The changes they can make only include adding a name and other minor amendments. The manifest transmitted must contain full names of crew and non-crew, date of birth, place of birth, gender, citizenship, permanent address, travel documents, passport information, flight number, and date and time of departure.
9. The open skies agreements accord both countries the right to operate from one point of one country to the other. They can also operate from a third party country. The open skies agreements are responsible for the increased trade and travel witnessed in the world today. The United States has agreements with over 100 countries throughout the world. The US has both bilateral and multilateral open skies agreements such as the 2001 Multilateral Agreement on the Liberalization of International Air Transportation (MALIAT).
