European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 28, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday january 26, 1967 the stars and stripes Page 5 new air safety rules considered prompted by three collisions in two weeks new York not three Aerial collisions in two weeks two involving Small airliners have spurred government consideration of new safety measures to supplement programs already in the works one idea advanced by officials or the National transportation safety Board is tighter restrictions on training nights. Such flights would be forbidden near big City airports unless the training planes had device showing their Altitude on radar. Another proposal is to broaden the Federal aviation admins ration s plan to require anti collision warning devices on airliners the plan now would affect Only Large and medium size airliners but sentiment is grow ing to extend it to smaller airliners. The idea of restricting training flights near Busy terminals was prompted by inc collision of a twin engine 18-seat commuter Airliner and a single engine private plane near Salt Lake City on Jan. Is. The Accident killed All eight people aboard the Turboprop Airliner and the two on the private plane which was on a training flight from a Field 10 Miles South of Salt Lake City s main Airport. The Airliner had been making its final turn for a Landing at the main Airport and the controller handling it had no Way of knowing the two planes were on a collision course because the Small plane had no device to show is Altitude on radar. I think the Faa will have to further restrict planes without Altitude reporting near Busy airports a safety Board official said in a Telephone interview. The two other collisions occurred on Jan. 19. In one. An army twin engine Turboprop collided with a twin engine business plane near Independence to. All six people aboard inc two planes were killed. Both planes earned devices transmitting their altitudes to the ground but controllers say they did not see the data on their radar scope in the third incident a six seat regional Airliner Anda single engine private plane grazed each other near Westerly . No one was Hurt. The collision problem has been the chief safely Issue the dominant View is that Many pilots do not scan the skies around them As carefully As they should. For government and Industry officials since the Acci Dent last August in which an Aero Mexico dc-9 Airliner and a Small private plane collided Over a los Angeles suburb killing 82 people.

New shuttle part twice As Strong Ogden Utah a a redesigned joint for the space shuttle s solid rocket boosters is twice As Strong at its predecessor and should be ready before shuttle lights resume in 1988, Morton Thi Okol officials said monday. The shuttle challenger exploded shortly after launch year ago killing All seven Crew members and a presidential commission determined that an Oring joint in one of the shuttle s two solid boosters had failed Al lowing hot gases to escape and sparking the explosion of the exterior fuel tank. The new design makes five major changes in the previous Model and Morton Thi Okol has conducted hundreds of tests including three successful test fir Ings u. Edwin Garrison president of Morton Thio Kot aerospace group said. The major changes include a Seal containing a third of ring which forces the joints More tightly together during pressurization new of ring materials refurbished primary and secondary of rings and an Adhe Sive Bond joint known As a a Seal. You would have to have a series of multiple fail ures with this joint to cause a failure like the one on challenger Allan Mcdonald director of Morton Thi Okol s Booster redesign team said. A year ago that was the weakest link in the shuttle system and it obviously failed. But we fixed that and made it twice As Strong he said. The reconfigured joints contain Heaters encased in silicone rubber to keep the seals warm to 75 degrees Mcdonald said. He said it will be Morton Thi Okol s recommendation that the shuttle resume flights after five full scale Static tests. The National research Council which is advising Nasa on the redesign Effort has called for six tests before a launch. Such a schedule would delay the first shuttle flight until at least april 1988, Mcdonald said. Jackson acting like candidate in Iowa Greenfield Towa a the frigid Iowa Dawn monday found the Rev.

Keith Potts newly installed As the Faa s associate administrator for air traffic control made it Clear in an interview that he was concerned not Only by the Colli Sion but also by the persistence of near collisions. An average of 25 near collisions a month were reported nationwide for the first six months of 1986, according to government figures. Most involved Small planes. My biggest priority Potts said is that the con troller wort Force be made to understand the importance of reducing the number of Erron and the serious need to Issue traffic information to  the great majority of safety experts agree that along with More vigilance by pilots and controllers the Pri Mary Short term safety need is wider use of attitude reporting equipment. Use of inc equipment is now required Only above 12,500 feet and when flying in terminal control areas generally extending up to 7,000 feet Over the country s nine busiest terminal areas. The Rule is expected to be extended soon to such areas Over the next 44 busiest terminals. But that would leave uncovered scores of cities and towns with considerable though lesser traffic. And it would Lake no account of Small plane training activities that Are often conducted not far outside the boundaries. Efforts Are being made to encourage private pilots without attitude reporting devices to get them voluntarily. Airliners have them. But less than half the nation s 200,000 Small private planes Are so equipped. Bof More gets first Black mayor Baltimore a Clarence h.
