twenty first century integrated flight control technology makes the incept marketable on the international stage it's the first civilian helicopter with digital channels to control pitch roll heading an attitude backed up by quadruple redundant sensors and actuators to ensure ideal maneuverability under virtually all conditions. with their first from scratch series the factories spread out over a broader than ever model range and as part of the new russian helicopters group since two thousand and seven they've been included in the forging of a flagship. helicopter factory is a collaborative project with the top players in russian and international avionics it's a new and improved family of choppers that's just starting to take flight the m i thirty eight despite years of uncertainty and controversy involving project partners the improved second test model of the m i thirty you made this first flight last december because on factory is joined on the project by the legendary. thirty eight is a multi-purpose medium transport helicopter designed to update its mit and my seventeen ancestors it

controllers monitor 35,000 flights daily. roughly two million air passengers come into direct contact, or come into contact with air traffic control each day. we can talk about how the next gen technology is going to help us improve this system, but we can't forget that at the heart of our air traffic control system are approximately 15,000 air traffic controllers. the incidents do serve to highlight the legitimate safety issues of air traffic controller fatigue, particularly those working on the midnight shift. there is no escaping the science that shift work has the potential to disrupt the rhythms of the body and often leads to fatigue. fatigue can seriously impair the work performance of individuals such as air traffic controllers who perform tasks that require consistent concentration. ultimately, this raises concerns for safe operations of the air traffic control system. i applaud secretary lahood and administrator babbitt for taking quick actions. i know these actions will be helpful and hope to improve some of the situation. the national transportation safety board has examined and made recommendations on air traffic controller fatigue, most recently in the aftermath of the 200
