Duty Of Care By Airlines and Helicopter Aviation Companies In Orange County
A common carrier transports people for a fee, and offers its services to the general public. As long as they charge a fee for their services and their services aren’t strictly private, an airplane or helicopter aviation company is a common carrier. Pursuant to the law in California, a common carrier has the legal obligation to provide the utmost duty of care to their passengers. Common carriers are held to a higher duty of care because of the fact they offer their services to the public for a fee. The company’s failure to adhere to that higher duty of care may be held to be evidence of the company’s negligence.
Common carriers are licensed and regulated at the local, state and federal level. The helicopter or airline common carrier can be a business, a private company. The Federal government regulates common carriers which transport passengers across state lines under the Interstate Commerce Act. At the state level, states regulate common carriers transporting people within a state, however, in the field of aviation, federal law preempts local law in most areas.
Airlines are regulated at the federal level by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) which prescribes rules known as the Federal Aviation Regulations and which are contained in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The FAA also regulates airports as it is the Federal Government which has exclusive sovereignty over all airspace in the United States.
Investigation of Airplane Accidents and Helicopter Crashes In Orange County
When an airplane accident or helicopter crash occurs, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates the accident and issues a report. However, it can be months and up to a year before their report is completed and issued.
NTSB investigators literally piece together evidence from the crash site to determine the likely cause, or causes of an airplane accident or helicopter crash. The NTSB also investigates overseas incidents which involve US-registered aircraft, in collaboration with the local government investigative authorities, when there is significant loss of American lives, or when the airplane, aircraft or helicopter involved is American built.
While it is helpful for NTSB investigators to find the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, which are commonly referred to as the “black box,” (which is actually orange), their recovery is not always possible or feasible, for instance when a plane goes down over the ocean, and in such instances, the cause of the accident is never known for sure, although there is usually some indication of the cause from the last communications made by the flight crew.
