FAA chief acknowledges failures in deadly mid-air helicopter collision

SINGAPORE, Feb 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Aviation Administration head Bryan Bedford said his agency accepted findings by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board that a series of systemic failures by the FAA led to a devastating mid-air collision that killed 67 people last year.

"We don't disagree with anything that the NTSB has concluded from their investigations. Many of the recommendations have already been put into action. Those that haven't, we're going to evaluate," Bedford told reporters on the sidelines of an aviation conference in Singapore.
