NTSB Issues Safety Recommendation to FAA Regarding Boeing 787 Flight Recorder Data

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued safety recommendation A-13IA037, designated as A-14-124, addressed directly to the Federal Aviation Administration. This directive urges the FAA to mandate that Boeing 787 operators incorporate specific guidance concerning an enhanced airborne flight recorder stale data issue into their respective maintenance manuals. The primary objective of this recommendation is to prevent stale data from being utilized for maintenance activities or for the maintenance of flight recorders. By requiring these updates, the NTSB aims to ensure that accurate and current data is available for all relevant operational and maintenance procedures associated with the Boeing 787 fleet.
