NTSB Issues Recommendation A-14-037 to FAA Regarding Boeing 777 Training

The National Transportation Safety Board, identified by reference number DCA13MA120, has issued recommendation A-14-037 to the Federal Aviation Administration. This directive calls for the FAA to require Boeing to develop enhanced training programs specifically for the Boeing 777. The goal of this initiative is to improve flight crew understanding of autothrottle modes and the logic behind automatic activation systems. To achieve this, the recommendation specifies that improvements must be made through better documentation, updated courseware materials, and more thorough instructor training. This measure aims to ensure that pilots have a comprehensive grasp of these critical automated systems to enhance overall aviation safety.
