NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FAA: AMEND FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION ORDER 7210.3, "FACILITY OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION," TO REQUIRE TOWER AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL MANAGERS TO MONITOR PLANNED AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OR OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT MAY REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT USE OF NONSTANDARD TAXI ROUTES AND COORDINATE WITH AIRPORT MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT SUCH ROUTES ARE INSPECTED FOR ADEQUATE SIGNAGE AND MARKINGS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to revise Order 7210.3 by requiring tower air traffic control managers to monitor planned airport construction or other activities that could lead to extensive use of nonstandard taxi routes, and to coordinate with airport management to ensure those routes are inspected for sufficient signage and markings.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
