NTSB Issues Recommendation A-19-012 to FAA Regarding International Regulator Notification

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued a formal recommendation, designated as A-19-012, addressed directly to the Federal Aviation Administration. This directive instructs the FAA to notify other international regulators that certify transport-category airplane type designs of Recommendation A-19-11. The list of entities to be contacted includes the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, Transport Canada, the National Civil Aviation Agency-Brazil, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency. The FAA is encouraged to ask these organizations to evaluate the relevance of recommendation A-19-11 to their own regulatory processes. Furthermore, the FAA is urged to help address any necessary changes within those international frameworks if they are found to be applicable. This action aims to ensure that global certification standards align with the safety insights provided in the referenced recommendation.
