[00:00 - 00:05] SPEAKER B:
    that there's not a great deal of possibility of mid-air crashes. Of course, it exists.
    But the possibility is fairly remote, isn't that?

[00:10 - 00:16] SPEAKER A:
    Well, I started speech one time, said that we had the potential or the problem of mid-air collisions
    There was since Wilbert turned or Wilbert said, let's build another one.
    Well, I think that right now being discussed throughout the entire United States,.
    I think that it can't help but the problem can't help but increase because our civil aviation fleet is projected to increase to approximately 260,000 airplanes in the next 10 years
    Now, that's doubling the fleet that we have today.
    Right now, we have approximately 120 to 130,000 airplanes and civil aviation fleet.
    And out of this 130,000 aircraft, approximately 27 to 2800 are involved in commercial aviation.
    Now, by the year 1980, the expect civil aviation fleet to increase to approximately 260,000 airplanes
    But the commercial transport fleet will only increase to about 3,100 airplanes.

[01:20 - 01:25] SPEAKER B:
    So the size of those, they loads that they can carry will be much greater, will they not?

[01:26 - 01:28] SPEAKER A:
    Yes, the 2747.
    Well, it's just enjoy.
    It's made in flight here about two months ago, and once you had a Washington, it's capable of carrying about 500 passengers

[01:40 - 01:47] SPEAKER B:
    In your job, do you go to personally go out on the scene of aircraft accidents for investigation or use the team's order
    Is that at all in the area of your position?

[01:52 - 01:56] SPEAKER A:
    I have not personally investigated an accident for several years.
    I started out with the board as a field investigator working out the Chicago office.
    But I was going to call the air carrier accident or catastrophic accident involving passengers.
    We usually dispatch a team from Washington, D
    C
    , that's comprised of specialists in the various areas, human factors, operations, engineering, flight recording, the redout
    Each individual is responsible for a particular phase in the investigation.
    Now, in general aviation, that's the investigation.
    This is generally investigated by two people, team type and investigation.
    And the team will hold some instances comprised of 40 to 50 people.

[02:57 - 03:04] SPEAKER B:
    This is something like the localization over Grand Canyon.
    That's where you big teams go out, yes, and work on it.

[03:10 - 03:14] SPEAKER A:
    To work we over the past 10 years, we've had only order a move up.
    But we called team type investigations a year, where from 8 to 14 major catastrophic accidents a year
    And that number has remained fairly static since so about 1965 or 56.
