it is important in knowing where faa is now, and where faa standard should go in the future, in terms of nextgen. so i'd like for us to discuss today in part, what's faa is in relation to the recommendation of the department of transportation inspector general report. the report identified shortcomings in measurement, outcomes. and outlined the nextgen benefits, to be about 100 billion dollars, less than the 2007 estimate. while our testament shows less benefit, it is estimated that 100 billion dollars of that will so far exceed the total projection costs. and that stands for 2030, which is 36 billion dollars. when it comes to benefits of the ig report, it was also found that faa has not transparently extended the benefits to date. and so stakeholders do not have a clear view in how investments will translate into modernization. we have also encountered delays an implementation on things like the performance based navigation procedures, or pianos we call them. the final report issued three recommendations. we have already begun implementing. one on metrics, performance, developing a p

from the faa. and pamela whitley who's the assisted administrator for nextgen, they will divide their time. then russell childs who's the chair of what's called nextgen advisory committee. can follow up with sharon pinkerton new senior vice president of lips that regular sort policy from airlines for america. been paul rinaldi who's the president of the national air traffic controllers association, or natca. and then follow that up with captain bob fox him first vice president of the air line pilots association, or alpa. the reason i am saying the full names end in the acronyms is i will be referred to them by acronyms later on and i don't have to sort of quarter in the jar for acronyms anymore, sites on doing that. and then will open up for questions. so with that lets first-tier from mr. soskin, the ig from the dot. you have about five minutes. let's first here -- >> chairman larsen, ranking member graves, chairman defazio, colleagues on this panel and members of the subcommittee. thank you for t

for example, faa's metro flex program. pbn was expected to yield significant beflts such as fuel savings and reduced congestion. however, as a result of program delays and unresolved obstacles faa's estimated annual benefits for metro plex are now only about half of the minimum amount initially expected. in a another example faa's voice switch program to implement digital voice switches will likely be delayed well beyond the original 2025 completion date. faa terminated the voice switch contract in december 2018 and is only in the early stages of developing a replacement. despite these and other challenges next gen is still expected to provide a positive return on investment. but as my office reported in march faa's projection for total next gen benefits by 2030 has declined substantially over time. next gen benefits wile be less than expected. for example, when air traffic did not grow as anticipated neither did the expected benefits especially those related to the projected times savings for passengers. next gen's benefi

the faa has been extraordinary. what could happen is that we hear from the faa safety inspectors that they do not have enough inspectors or enough time to conduct investigations. because of the zero-tolerance policy, inspectors would be inspecting on a first-in, first-out basis. they now have the ability to decide based on the severity of the case. if they get down to a six-month timeout, there is a statute of limitations. if they don't get to the case because they don't have enough resources to address it, the case goes away completely. they's adjuster should be an extension of that time. >> thank you. mr. andrews, let me commend you for your professionalism, preserving your job through the racist incident. your testimony and your personal fight against covid-19. i would like to discuss the secondary barriers. the faa is requiring installation of barriers that would protect the cockpit even when it is open. the faa has not bestowed this legal requirement. how would these barriers further protect the safety of the f

in the faa letter we requested egregious cases be sent to the faa. the faa arctic directs this court nation and criminal enforcement action. we worked with the coalition if airline labor partners to direct federal prosecutors dedicate the resources needed and to send a message in upholding aviation safety are of paramount importance. as the airline industry we understand we need to better address the problem as well. each of our member airlines is taking steps to a direct more more can be done to make enhancements. the policies training communication and more. earlier this year our members began collecting and sharing best practices across carriers to improve the airline response to these incidents. such best practices include risk assessment management and employee training initiatives and enhancements and customer relationships. these efforts have led to engagement across the broader industry to discuss collectively what more can be done. as a result we are working on across industry self-initiated as practices effort that includes -- we believe in

this afternoon, pete buttigieg and his faa granted us an exemption.ver the past 24 hours was we pressed the attack on press freedom, nothing will ever read anything about it in the new york times or the washington post, but we think there should be an accounting o this. who did this and why? at least one senator, robert marshall of kansas announced he's investigating the faa and wants to know who within the dhs requested this shutdown of the airspace so we couldn't show you what's happening. marshall also wants to know the extent of thee white house involvement in this and will be following this carefully because we think it's worth knowing who is trying to invalidate the first amendment. in the meantime we go to one of the least intimidated reporters out there. who joins us live. bill melugin, good to see you. >> tucker, good to see you. we have some major breaking news we'd like to report to you. the situation at the international bridge behind us has gotten so bad that cdp has just announced that effective immediately they are temporarily closing d

this took place in a very remote part of new mexico, but the faa is investigating.problematic is because just think if you're a pilot, commercial or private pilot, operating a normal airplane and you go out of your faa designated air space or you're caught flying at an altitude higher or lower than you should be, you could get into a ton of trouble. essentially, that is what the faa is accusing virgin galactic of doing, and virgin galactic now acknowledging it. so it appears what happened is during the ascent, spaceship 2's ascent, and this is according to the journalist who broke this story, who wrote the book on virgin galactic, nicholas schmittle, he is reporting that two lights in the cockpit came on, a red light and a yellow light, and the two pilots were faced with a choice. abort the mission or take over the controls and try to change the trajectory. and in doing so, that is what caused the spacecraft to go out of its designated air space. this is all coming at a time that is very problematic for the company, because they are now grounded by the faa until thi

but the fact is they went out of their faa designated air space, the faa said you're grounded. >> andace so if there is an accident you don't endanger other people. >> exactly. >> it is material. this is not the first safety issue with virgin galactic. it raises questions about safety protocols there. >> yeah, i mean it really started in 2014 when there was a test pilot that was killed in the desert of new mexico. another pilot on the the same spacecraft seriously injured. virgin galactic made some changes and made it more difficult for an accident like that to happen again, but since then they've flown four test flights and no one was hurt but some people within the country were raising some concerns and so now you have former test pilots for virgin galactic speaking out on twitter saying they're concerned about the company's culure. and this is also concerning because virgin galactic on the cusp of sending the first paying customers into space later in month or next month. >> if they are grounded it won't happen. kristin fisher, thank you so much. >>> bill de blasio will speak soon

virgin galactic ha, pending investigation by the faa. richard branson was aboard the aircraft during its july 11 test flight. yesterday officials at the faa so they wanted to know why it veered off course during landing . pacesetter actually left its approved airspace during the time. virgin galactic said there working with investigators to determine a cause. >>> pandemic hoarding has made a resurgence alongside the delta variant. costco is putting a purchase limit on toilet paper, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer. that is your cbs moneywatch report. for more, go to cbsmoneywatch.com. i am diane king hall . >>> it is time to look at weather and traffic. it is a three-day weekend, mary . >> it is that we will also see less haze and we are looking at some low clouds. looking at the easy sunshine to dive and looking ahead to tomorrow it is even warmer by sunday and labor day. sunday and labor day are the hottest days with the high 100 degrees inland by the end of our weekend. looking at futurecast, you can see the sky is clearing for

with the faa.ay we announced the first major milestone in this process by receiving our g1 certification. we believe we are one of the only countries -- companies in the world to have accomplished this. it is significant because this is one of the hardest parts of the entire certification planning process. it is a big deal. by approving the g1 certification, it is showing the faa -- has been forward thinking in terms of sustainable air transportation. emily: when you imagine rollout would be? joby aviation says they will be ready in 2024. adam: our certification timeline follows a similar pattern. we have announced we think we can get through the certification process by the end of 20 24 and announced two early launch city partners we will be deploying. that is los angeles and miami. emily: how does your jet differ? adam: the industry has the potential to be very big. i know we are both building vehicles out there to be deployed in this industry. if i could just focus on archer, it is an unbelievab

in other words, the faa is being used to cover up for biden's failures. we are going to let that stand? i don't think so. here now, the del rio international bridge at texas where thousands of illegal immigrants wait to be processed. senator ted cruz. senator, first of all, the faa, weo know the doj has been weaponized and have the doj's going to be weaponized? >> it really is ridiculous. i've never seen anything like that.>> the drone footage started this morning and people all across the country were horrified and i guess the political operatives at the biden white house saw that and the side of they want is fox news actually reporting on what is happening down here, so now the faa is saying please, no journalists allowed. as you know, they did the same thing in the rio grande valley where they wouldn't allowe fox news to come and when i brought 19 senators to the rio grande valley, i had to go in with my cell phone and photograph and take videos. i tell you, i'm right there. that bridge is behind me and i just finished going myself, not taking videos o

we are curious why the second, we reached out to the faa.onight until september 30th they say it is for special security reasons. fox has been flying these drones for the past 7 months, it is never been an issue. we are very responsible was all of our operators are trained, they've got their permits and everything, it has never been an issue and i got an email from the faa if i can open my phone real quick responding to our this happened, we asked for clarification was according to the faa they are telling us, quote, the border patrol requested a temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border. as with any temporary flight restriction media is able to call the faa for requests to operate in the area. it was not fox drones interfering with law-enforcement activities, we don't get directly above anything, our guys are well-trained and know what they are doing. we will put in a request to see if we can keep flying but we are grounded. laura: if you don't have the drone footage how do the america

if you travel outside of your faa designated air space, you can get into a ton of trouble.alactic here. >> sure. they weren't where they were supposed to be by regulation. this is not what it was supposed to be doing and they ignored the safety standards there. is this the first time? there are been other safety issues with virgin galactic in the past. >> yeah, there have most notably the big one a crash in 2014 which killed a virgin galactic test pilot and badly injured the other pilot on board. virgin galactic since made changes to the spacecraft, changed the way that the spacecraft -- fixed the thing that caused that specific accident, but since then there have been two other somewhat close calls, some safety incidents. no one was hurt, but you know, there have been some growing concerns within the industry about virgin galactic's culture of safety, so to speak. a former test pilot for the company has been speaking out quite vocally on twitter. john, these are just not the kind of headlines that any company wants especially when they're right on the cusp of sending payin

to the faa thatitis far it has proved to the faa that it is possible and also it is safe.d to. but we are far from having it approved by the faa for unmanned aircraft. drone is built of this country house in chichester don'tjust hover above the backyard. a ground—breaking new license means pilots can fly these aircraft from hundreds of miles away. typically, drones are not allowed to be flown outside the line of sight of the operator and even when this does happen, regulators only give permission for specific flights on a specific date and for a specific date and for a specific cause. back could be about to change. the company based he hasjust been about to change. the company based he has just been granted the uk passed my first ever blanket license to make beyond out of sight flights at a moment's notice. the pioneering flights rely on autonomous systems. flights rely on autonomous systems-— flights rely on autonomous s stems. _ , ., ,, systems. our system maps the world in sd — systems. our system maps the world in 3d real-time - systems. our system maps the world in 3d

so he somehow oversees the faa as transportation secretary grounded our drone.iden ministration said it security concerns, what were th sick purity concerns. the order didn't explain what the special security reason was afraid they never cleaned anything because it wasn't real it was alive. it was nothing more then a pretext to shut us down. we reported how the faa has become politicized and this is the most recent example of this most media organizations didn't see a problem with any of this. they didn't care that they were shutting down media access on the border since there were no reporters at the border since last year, some people did resist. alex jones he required to hate announcing he is doing the faa over this rate he announces thi afternoon. good for him. fox news also decided to fight this and we did. this afternoon, the buttigieg granted us an exemption. what happened over the past 24 hours was we press the attack unimpressed freedom, nothing will ever read anything about i in the new york times or the washington post, but we think there should be an

we reached out to the faa.place two weeks from tonight until september 30th and they say it is for special security reasons. fox had been flying these drones for the past seven months now. it's never been an issue, we are very responsible, all our operators are trained. it's never been an issue and i actually just got an email from the faa if i can open up my phone real quick, responding to why this happened. we reached out asked for clarification on why this went up. the faa is telling us the border control -- due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border. as with any temporary flight restriction, media is able to call the faa to make requests to operate in the area. i can tell you it was not our fox drones interfering with law enforcement activities. we stay back, we don't go, we know what we are doing. >> laura: if you don't have the drone footage then how do the american people see the enormity of the situation. the crowd. you can't see it if you are not above, correct? impossible to

the faa, this is a big deal. what does this mean for our church next?r having me on today. archer is building electric takeoff and landing vehicles. vehicles that will be affordable and designed to be a safe as commercial airlines. -- as safe as commercial airlines. we are certifying them with the faa and today we are not the first major milestone in this process by receiving our g1 certification basis. we believe we are one of the only companies in our industry, really in the world, to have accomplished that step. it is significant because this is one of the hardest part of the certification process, so it is a really big deal. by approving archer's g1 certification, it is showing that the faa has been very forward thinking and helping working towards sustainable forms of air transportation. emily: what do you imagine a commercial rollout would be? jb aviation which is also working on air taxis says it will be ready in 2024. adam: our certification timeline follows a similar pattern. we think we can get through the certification process by the end of 2
