The FAA has named an independent safety review team to further examine ways to enhance safety and reliability in the nation’s air traffic system. The group of six industry luminaries will present concrete recommendations on how the agency can advance air traffic safety, the FAA said yesterday.

The team consists of former NASA astronaut Charles Bolden Jr.; Tim Canoll, who has served as president of the Air Line Pilots Association, International; Patricia Gilbert, a one-time executive v-p of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association; David Grizzle and Michael Huerta, who formerly were COO and administrator of the FAA, respectively; and Robert Sumwalt, chairman of the NTSB from 2017 to 2021.
