Safety recommendation
The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to develop and publicize information about potentially impairing drugs identified in toxicology tests of fatally injured pilots.
In safety recommendation DCA14SS003, designated as A-14-092, the National Transportation Safety Board addressed the Federal Aviation Administration. The board urged the agency to develop, publicize, and periodically update educational materials for pilots. These materials must focus on potentially impairing drugs identified in the toxicology test results of fatally injured pilots. Additionally, the recommendation requires that pilots be made aware of less impairing alternative drugs if such options are available.
