Biden's FAA Nominee Can't Answer a Single Question About Aviation
By Spencer Brown | March 3, 2023
Phil Washington, President Joe Biden's nominee to serve as administrator of the FAA, continues to face questions about his qualifications to serve in the role, and his testimony before Congress isn't dispelling doubts about his ability to run America's civil aviation system and keep its citizens safe when they fly.
Already, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has raised concerns about Washington's experience and resume, suggesting President Biden is "playing politics" rather than prioritizing the safety and efficiency of America's air transportation system. Washington's previous gigs have also seen accusations of wasteful spending and mismanagement of resources, as Townhall reported previously. And, while he served honorably in the military, lawmakers pointed out that Washington has no experience or qualifications related to aviation safety.
That was abundantly clear this week as Washington testified before the Senate Commerce Committee when Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) asked Biden's FAA nominee questions that an FAA administrator would need to know. Not only did Washington fail to impress senators with his answers, he had no answers. In fact, it was absolutely brutal.
First, Washington was asked a basic question about what airspace designation requires pilots to have an ADS-B transponder.
Budd: "What airspace requires an ADS-B transponder?"Ok, maybe not everyone knows this.
Washington: "Not sure I can answer that question right now."
The second question also dealt with airspace designations created by the FAA, the agency Biden wants Washington to lead.
Budd: "What are the six types of special use airspace that...appear on FAA charts?"So, now it seems like Washington has maybe never even looked at an FAA chart? For those at home (or Washington if he sees this and needs a study guide) the six special use airspace designations are prohibited, restricted, warning, military operations, alert, and national security areas. A seventh, controlled firing areas, is not charted.
Washington: "Sorry, senator, I cannot answer that question."

Pretty sobering for those who understand the stakes here. Keep in mind Merrick Garland is Jewish and was raised in conservative Judaism. What are Jews in power afraid of? A Jew raised in conservative Judaism authorizes a 20-30 man fully armed pseudo military raid on the home of a traditional Catholic who was prepared to turn himself in.
