### FAA Maintenance Crackdown, American Airlines Groundings, Congressional Pressure

- **Published:** 2008-04-12
- **Time:** 19:32–21:09
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/26-feeling-fat/chapter/faa-maintenance-crackdown-american-airlines-groundings-congressional-pressure.md

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently conducting rigorous "by the book" inspections of airlines, starting with American Airlines and AMR Corporation. This crackdown follows Congressional criticism of the FAA's oversight. The strict adherence to every regulation has the potential to bring the national aviation system to a standstill as inspectors find minor technicalities to ground aircraft.

Adam Curry describes flying through 40-knot winds and rain to reach Antwerp, Belgium, for a mandatory annual aircraft inspection. The discussion emphasizes the critical importance of consistent maintenance and trusting a single mechanic to ensure pilot safety. Failure to complete the inspection by the March 31st deadline would have invalidated the aircraft's insurance.
