NTSB Recommends FAA Issue Airworthiness Directive for Ice Observation Lights

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued a safety recommendation directed at the Federal Aviation Administration. The board advises that the agency should issue an airworthiness directive requiring operators of two-pilot airplanes to install a right wing ice observation light. This requirement applies to aircraft presently equipped with only the left wing ice observation light. The Jetstream three one zero zero and three two zero zero models are specifically mentioned as examples of aircraft affected by this recommendation. This new guidance supersedes Safety Recommendation A- ninety two zero six five. The directive aims to enhance visibility and safety during icing conditions for pilots operating these specific aircraft configurations.
