Guy Gardner, head of the US Federal Aviation Administration's Atlantic City research centre, will become the aviation agency's associate administrator for regulation and certification. He succeeds Anthony Broderick, who left the job under pressure in the wake of the ValuJet DC-9-30 crash into the Florida Everglades on 11 May. Gardner, a former astronaut and commander of the US Air Force's test pilot school, joined the FAA as the director of its research centre in 1995.
