Safety recommendation
The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to mandate simulator training for uncommanded swerving events in landing operations.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued safety recommendation A-17-006, identified by reference number DCA13WA123. This directive is addressed specifically to the Federal Aviation Administration. The core of the recommendation requires that operators of Embraer EMB-135, EMB-140, and EMB-145 airplanes incorporate specialized training for uncommanded swerving on landing into their initial and recurrent simulator training programs. This measure aims to ensure pilots are adequately prepared to handle these specific flight dynamics during the critical phase of landing.
