FAA Administrator Marion Blakey chose a speech before the Washington Aero Club to announce a new project designed to bring more consistency among the various FAA regulation and certification offices.

“We want to know from our customers if we are not being consistent,” Blakey told the group. “We’re going to let them know that they have the right to ask for review on any inspector’s decision on any call that’s made in the certification process…that they can ‘buck it up’ to the first-line field office managers, regional division managers or even to Washington if necessary, with no fear of retribution.”
