NTSB Issues Safety Recommendation to National Air Racing Group Regarding High G Training

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a formal safety recommendation, designated as A-12-011, addressed to the National Air Racing Group Unlimited Division. This directive, associated with NTSB number WPR11MA454, mandates that the organization provide high g training to its pilots. The recommendation specifies that this training must include techniques designed to mitigate the potential physiological effects of high g exposure. These educational requirements are to be integrated into pilot preparations prior to the Reno National Championship Air Races (NCAR). Furthermore, the NTSB requires that these high g mitigation techniques be included in daily briefings conducted at the NCAR venue. The goal is to ensure pilots are adequately prepared for the physical demands of air racing events through standardized instruction and regular reinforcement of safety protocols.
