NTSB Issues Recommendation A-14-111 to FAA for Enhanced Part 125 Oversight

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released recommendation A-111, identified under NTSB number DCA12FA051, addressed directly to the Federal Aviation Administration. This directive calls for a significant enhancement in regulatory oversight procedures for commercial aviation operators holding certificates under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 125. Specifically, the recommendation requires that all principal operations inspectors assigned to these certificate holders must conduct at least one en route inspection annually for each airplane type operated by the respective certificate holder. This measure aims to ensure consistent compliance and safety standards across the fleet types managed under this regulatory framework.
