New Technology is Causing Airline Travelers to Feel Safer

Part 11, getting planes into the air faster and keeping them safe. I just wrote an article about airplanes being stranded on the tarmacs. Incredulous. Not just minutes but in some extreme cases, 6 hours. What type of CEO would permit that?

Three years ago, I invented, on paper, a system that would help eliminate flight problems. For those not familiar with the intricacies of FAA flight regulations-commercial airliners are, like all pilots, permitted to by-pass any control tower's directives when the pilot determines it is safer to "do something different." In some cases, the pilot will be asked to visit the FAA office of the landing airport to explain "changes or movement" other than that directed by the applicable control tower.

These pilots, in general, are required to-

get up in the air ASAP, by the rules of their companies. Stay on the ground as long as held there by their applicable control tower when in the air, talk to and follow, exactly.
Those who travel know that the number of both commercial and "general aircraft" in the air at one time helps determine how many planes can be climbing to altitude and coming down to land at given airports-each airport has a finite amount of space for both taking off and landing and for parking planes.
