	Air safety at AllExperts
		Air safety is a broad term encompassing the theory, investigation and categorisation of flight failures, and the prevention of such failures through appropriate regulation, as well as through education and training.
		Of particular significance was the Air Commerce Act 1926, which required pilots and aircraft to be examined and licensed, for accidents to be properly investigated, and for the establishment of safety rules and navigation aids, under the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce.
		The automatic deployment of the Ram Air Turbine maintained the necessary hydraulic pressure to the flight controls, so that the pilot was able to land with only a minimal amount of damage to the plane, and minor (evacuation) injuries to a few passengers.

		The Royal Air Force never made use of the airport and control was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Aviation on 1 January 1946, the first civil flight that day being to Buenos Aires, via Lisbon for refuelling.
		In addition, air traffic between Heathrow and the United States is strictly governed by the countries' bilateral Bermuda II treaty.
