NTSB Issues Safety Recommendation A-16-038 to FAA Regarding Hawker Training Programs

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued safety recommendation A-16-038, identified under reference number CEN16MA036, addressed directly to the Federal Aviation Administration. This directive calls for immediate coordination between the FAA, Textron Aviation, and Hawker 700- and 800-series training centers. The primary objective is to develop and incorporate a specific definition of the term 'landing assured' into pilot training programs for these aircraft models. This new definition must align precisely with the language established in 14 Code of Federal Regulations 91.175(c)(1). By standardizing this terminology within official training materials, the NTSB aims to ensure that pilots operating Hawker 700- and 800-series aircraft adhere to consistent regulatory standards during landing operations. This recommendation underscores the importance of clear regulatory language in aviation safety protocols.
