Did you know that the NTSB made 35 recommendations based on the landing of US Airways Flight 1549, of which only six have been implemented 7 years later? In fact, 14 of the recommendations sent to the FAA and EASA (European counterpart) were marked as unacceptable and closed. The Washington Post takes a look at these and the interesting back and forth between the NTSB investigators and the FAA. Check out their article here.

I had just gotten off a flight from France the day before I watched the film. I particularly value older pilots because of their many years of hand flying experience and was looking forward to seeing the movie. I really thought Sullenberger did the right and best thing at the time the incident took place and I also thought many pilots could have landed it the same. BUT now that I see his knowledge had to be deeper than that to get the plane that far in the first place, I see that it was more than just the landing. And I’m wondering how dramatized the questioning of his judgement and the accusation stance, rather than the investigation stance lasted.
