Safety recommendation
The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to update its approach to stall flight profile standards.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued safety recommendation number A-14-096, identified under reference number CEN14FA046. This directive is addressed specifically to the Federal Aviation Administration. The core of the recommendation urges the agency to revise the flight profile designated as the Approach to Stall. This revision must be implemented as soon as is practical within the framework of Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 108. The primary objective of this update is to ensure that the current standards contained in SFAR 108 are fully consistent with Advisory Circular 120-109. This action aims to align regulatory requirements with established advisory guidance to enhance operational safety protocols.
