NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Review intersecting runway operations at all airports served by scheduled air carriers. The review should determine, for instrument and visual operations, if a formal restriction on clearing departing aircraft for takeoff when an arriving aircraft is a specified distance from the threshold would reliably provide safe separation between arriving and departing aircraft on intersecting runways.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to review intersecting runway operations at all airports served by scheduled air carriers. The review should determine, for both instrument and visual operations, whether a formal restriction on clearing departing aircraft for takeoff when an arriving aircraft is a specified distance from the threshold would reliably ensure safe separation between arriving and departing aircraft on intersecting runways.
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.
