NTSB Issues Recommendation A-11-016 to FAA Regarding Cessna 560XL Airworthiness

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a formal safety recommendation, designated as A-11-016 and associated with reference number CEN11IA087. This directive is addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The core of the recommendation requires the FAA to issue an airworthiness directive. This proposed directive would mandate that all operators of the Cessna 560XL aircraft model must comply with Cessna service letter 560XL-53-08. The NTSB is urging immediate regulatory action to ensure these specific operational standards are met across the fleet of Cessna 560XL aircraft to maintain safety compliance.
