... . AIR also promotes the continued airworthiness of existing aircraft by mandating modifications when operating experience indicates the presence of a real or potential hazard.3 As part of the FAA's efforts to improve aviation safety, AIR chartered the National Research Council to examine safety-related elements of the certification and continued air worthiness process and to recommend an approach to improve AIR's risk evaluation and risk management.

... and determine whether these causes are related to the aircraft certification process, with special emphasis on the continued airworthiness of aircraft. Base the inquiry on available data from industry, investigative organizations, and regulatory agencies; and include factors such as manufacturing standards and airworthiness directives.

... Chapter 5 describes the relationships between human factors, environmental factors, and aircraft systems in accidents and incidents, followed by comments on several current initiatives to reduce accidents and incidents associated with human error. Chapter 6 recommends approaches for overcoming five key barriers to the implementation of the recommended safety management plan.
