NTSB Recommends FAA Update Brake Stopping Distance Requirements

The NTSB recommends revising FAA regulations to include brake stopping distances at maximum brake wear in accelerate-stop distance calculations.

The NTSB recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration revise 14 CFR 25.109 to require that the stopping distance capabilities of brake assemblies at the allowable 'maximum brake wear' limit are included in the requirement for determining the accelerate-stop distances for certification of new airplanes without credit for the use of reverse thrust.
