NTSB Recommends FAA Update DC-10-30/40 Flight Manual

The NTSB recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration require McDonnell Douglas to revise, as appropriate, the accelerate-stop distances in the DC-10-30/40 FAA approved airplane flight manual. The revision should include the increase in stopping distance attributed to worn brakes, determined in accordance with safety recommendation A-90-27, and the proper application of safety margins for in-service variations, determined in accordance with safety recommendation A-90-028.
