General Information
Description
David Russell Hinson is an American aircraft pilot and former head of Midway Airlines. David R. Hinson is best known for the three years, 1993 to 1996, during which he served as Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration as an appointee of President Bill Clinton. Hinson oversaw the government's response to the Valujet Flight 592 crash on May 11, 1996 in the Florida Everglades. According to the NTSB, the airline had improperly transported cabin chemical-oxygen generators in the cargo hold, which started a fire on board when the initiation pins were jostled and the oxygen generators began to flow. The chemical reaction inside the metal canisters created tremendous heat, ignited tires adjacent to the canisters, and the oxygen fed the fire. Eventually the cabin filled with smoke and fire from the cargo hold area. The findings of the NTSB on the crash were challenged by those who believed that arcing in the electrical wiring system may have caused the fire. Electrical fire incidents occurred with TWA Flight 800 and Swissair Flight 111, both after the Valujet crash. Mr. Hinson has been involved with flying since 1954, when he entered flight school with the Navy.
