NTSB Recommends FAA Improve Radar Training for Emergency Situations
The NTSB recommends the FAA enhance radar training for trainees in the en route option to handle emergencies involving VFR pilots.
The NTSB recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration provide radar control trainees in the en route option at the radar training facility an emergency situation in which a VFR pilot is asking for assistance, is caught in weather, but is below the minimum IFR altitude. The recommendation aims to improve the preparedness of trainees to handle such scenarios effectively.
