Zaka zingapo pambuyo poti oyendetsa ndege masauzande auza NASA za zomwe adakumana nazo pachitetezo chapaulendo ndipo NASA idatseka kafukufukuyu osaulula zomwe apeza, malingaliro a oyendetsa ndege amakhalabe chinsinsi.
Kafukufuku wamsonkhano womwe udzatulutsidwe Lachinayi umapereka chidziwitso chatsopano pa zomwe oyendetsa ndege adanena panthawi ya kafukufuku wamafoni kapena zomwe zingawulule za thambo lotetezeka. NASA idadula zoyankhulana mu 2004 ndikusankha kusasanthula zotsatira.
Boma la Accountability Office, bungwe lofufuza la Congress, lati kafukufuku wamafoni omwe anali asanakhalepo $11 miliyoni anali omveka bwino pamapangidwe ake koma akukhudzidwa ndi kukana kwa oyang'anira ndege ndi zolakwika pakukhazikitsa kwake.
Zotsatira, zomwe zikuphatikiza zomwe oyendetsa ndege amakumana nazo ndi kumenyedwa kwa mbalame ndi zochitika zina zachitetezo, ndizovuta kwambiri kotero kuti sizingawunikidwe popanda kafukufuku wokwera mtengo komanso wokulirapo, lipoti la GAO, lomwe linapezedwa ndi The Associated Press lisanawululidwe.
Pakadali pano, kafukufukuyu wapitilira phindu lake paulendo wandege lero, GAO idatero.
Nkhani imene inkatchedwa National Aviation Operations Monitoring Service imasonyeza mmene ndalama za okhometsa misonkho zingagulire zinthu zambiri zaboma n’kukhala opanda zambiri zoti zisonyeze.
Congress idapempha GAO kuti iwunikenso ndikusanthula projekiti ya NASA chaka chatha pambuyo poti bungwe la mlengalenga lidayesa kubisa zotsatira zake mwachinsinsi. Zoyankhulanazi zidachitika kuyambira 2001 mpaka 2004.
"Iyi inali pulojekiti yopangidwa bwino yomwe idalephera chifukwa idachitidwa popanda kuyang'anira bwino bungwe ndipo inalibe chithandizo chomwe chimafunikira kuchokera kwa kasitomala wake wamkulu - FAA,"
Rep. Jerry Costello, D-Ill., tcheyamani wa komiti yaing’ono ya kayendetsedwe ka ndege ya House Transportation Committee, anati chinali “chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri cha mmene malingaliro abwino ndi chuma chimatayira chifukwa cha kusakonzekera bwino.”
NASA idayamba kukonzekera bwino kuyambira 1997 kuti ipange kafukufuku wasayansi wotsata zovuta zachitetezo cha mumlengalenga ndi zoyambira ngozi. Kontrakitala wa NASA adachita zoyankhulana 25,000 ndi oyendetsa ndege ndi 5,000 ndi oyendetsa payekha, kuwafunsa mafunso ambiri okhudza chitetezo chomwe adakumana nacho.
NASA ikuyembekeza kuti FAA ivomereza kafukufukuyu kuti athandizire kuwunika kwina kwa boma. Koma akuluakulu a FAA adatsutsa kutsimikizika kwake pamene zotsatira zoyamba zimasonyeza kuti mbalame zagunda ndi zochitika zina zimachitika kawirikawiri kuposa momwe FAA imasonyezera. Iwo adatsutsa kuti mayankho a oyendetsa ndegewo anali okhazikika.
GAO inati n'zosadabwitsa kuti oyendetsa ndege adanena kuti amagunda mbalame nthawi zambiri chifukwa ofufuza a ndege akuganiza kuti 80 peresenti ya mbalame zomwe zimawombera mbalame sizinafotokozedwe ku machitidwe odzifunira a FAA. Ndege ya ndege ya US Airways inagwera mumtsinje wa Hudson pa Jan. 15 pambuyo pa kugunda ndi mbalame zazikulu.
