Welcome to the Survey on the FAA Aviation Safety Inspector Training.
The U.S. Congress wants to understand whether FAA Aviation Safety Inspectors, like you,
receive the technical training needed to keep pace with changing technology, your job
responsibilities and to help keep America's airspace safe for the traveling public and for
the movement of goods. It has directed the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an independent
agency that gathers and analyzes information for Congress, to assess the actions taken by
FAA to ensure that its safety inspectors receive necessary technical training.
Our Web-based survey is voluntary. It is being distributed to a random sample of
approximately 500 safety inspectors. The survey will allow us to examine the perspectives
of safety inspectors on the type, adequacy, and currency of the technical training you receive
and where you received it. We plan to issue a report on this matter in calendar year 2005.
As mentioned in our notification e-mail, if you haven't had a chance to review your
current training profile or string courses and your training history for the past 2 years,
we encourage you to print them out or obtain a copy from your training manager before
you start. Your review will make it easier for you to respond to the questions.
We understand that there are great demands on your time. However, your participation in
our study is essential for us to be able to provide an assessment of FAA's technical
training to Congress. The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. Please complete
the survey within 2 weeks of receipt. We appreciate your time and effort.
