Cholinga chachikulu cha gululi chinali kupanga chikalata chotsimikizira apaulendo kuti ndege zikuchita zonse zomwe angathe kuwonetsetsa kuti oyendetsa ndege sakhala okonzeka kuwulutsa anthu komwe akupita, komanso kuthandiza oyendetsa ndege ambiri kulangiza omwe sakudziwa zambiri.

Babbitt adauza makampani opanga ndege lero kuti akuyembekeza kuti ayang'anire oyendetsa ndege asanawalembere anthu oyendetsa ndege - kuphatikizapo kulandira chilolezo kuchokera kwa oyendetsa ndege kuti apeze zolemba zawo zonse za maphunziro. Ndege zimaloledwa kuchita izi lero koma zidadziwika bwino chifukwa cha ngozi ya Buffalo kuti si onse omwe amachita.

Kuyenda pandege: Mulingo Umodzi Wachitetezo

Lachiwiri lapitalo, Babbitt ndi LaHood adalengeza kuti, kuyambira nthawi yomweyo, maphunziro oyendetsa ndege m'madera a ndege adzayang'aniridwa ndi oyang'anira a FAA.
