NTSB Issues Recommendation A-12-043 to Experimental Aircraft Association Regarding Training Incentives

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued Recommendation A-12-043, identified by reference number DCA12SS005, addressed directly to the Experimental Aircraft Association. This directive outlines a planned action requiring the association to establish a coalition comprising kit manufacturers, type clubs, and various pilot and owner groups. The primary objective of this coalition is to develop comprehensive transition training resources tailored to the experimental amateur-built aircraft community. Furthermore, the recommendation mandates that the association identify and apply specific incentives designed to encourage both the builders of new experimental amateur-built aircraft and the purchasers of used experimental amateur-built aircraft to complete the developed training programs. This initiative aims to enhance safety standards through structured education and motivated participation within the experimental aviation sector.
