Safety recommendation
The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to update certification requirements for aircraft requiring fuel additives.
In recitation WPR09MA159, designated as A-11-070, the National Transportation Safety Board issued a directive to the Federal Aviation Administration. The board requested that the agency amend existing certification requirements for aircraft that necessitate the use of fuel additives, such as fuel system icing inhibitors. Specifically, the recitation calls for these operational limitations to be prominently highlighted by a warning within the limitations section of the airplane flight manual. This measure aims to ensure that pilots are clearly aware of the specific fuel requirements necessary for safe operation of these aircraft types.
