5.3 Discussion: Government Liability
It is a
quiet predawn morning in the Seattle, WA area, and the lone FAA air traffic
controller who is controlling the airspace south of the city has been on duty
for seven hours. The controller's only traffic is a Navy helicopter transiting
the area westbound en route to a nearby Navy facility and a northbound private
civilian airplane. The controller, having dozed off, is awakened by the ringing
telephone, answers it, and learns that the two aircraft collided in flight in
the controller’s airspace. There are no survivors. Investigation reveals that
the two collided while in level flight at the altitude assigned to each by that
controller.
Analyze the potential liability of the United States and the
controller for the accident, then analyze and explain how your answer would
differ if the controller had been an employee of a corporate government
contractor, instead of the FAA.
Option 2
For a nation or union of nations other than the U.S.:
·
Identify and describe
generally the law(s) applicable to determining the liability of the government
and its employees for injuries caused by negligence in:
o Air traffic control,
o Aviation weather reporting, and
o Aircraft airworthiness certification,
providing hyperlinks to references relied on.
Reply
Respond critically and analytically, but politely and
professionally, to at least one of your classmates’
posts. One of your responses should be to a scenario other than the one you
chose to answer. Express your agreement or disagreement with their analyses and
clearly state your reasons.
