The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to develop guidance on using engineering drawings for certification compliance.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a safety recommendation, designated as A-15-032 and associated with NTSB number ERA14MA271. This directive is addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration. The core of the recommendation urges the agency to develop and issue specific guidance concerning the appropriate use and limitations of reviewing engineering drawings. This review process is often performed as part of a design review intended to demonstrate compliance with certification regulations. The NTSB emphasizes the need for clear parameters to ensure these reviews are conducted effectively within the regulatory framework.
