NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Convene a joint government-industry task force composed, at a minimum, of representatives of manufacturers, operators, pilot labor organizations, and the FAA to develop, within 1 year, a pilot training tool to do the following: include information about factors that can contribute to structural failures involving the landing gear, wings, and fuselage, such as design sink rate limits; roll angle limits; control inputs' roll rate; pitch rate, single-gear landings; the effect of decreased lift; and structural loading consequences of bottoming landing gear struts and tires.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to assemble a joint government-industry task force, including manufacturers, operators, pilot labor organizations, and the FAA itself, to create a pilot training tool within one year. This tool must cover factors that can lead to structural failures in the landing gear, wings, and fuselage, such as design sink rate limits, roll angle limits, control inputs' roll rate, pitch rate, single-gear landings, the effect of decreased lift, and the structural loading consequences of bottoming landing gear struts and tires.
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.
