NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Study the safety and design of existing safety barrier and lighting equipment intended for placement on or near runways during closures and establish safety standards for frangibility, as well as other properties (including, but not limited to, wind resistance and conspicuity of lights and markings under various weather, lighting, and visibility conditions). If existing equipment does not meet these standards, new equipment should be developed.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to study the safety and design of existing safety barrier and lighting equipment used on or near runways during closures and to establish safety standards for frangibility, wind resistance, and conspicuity under various conditions. If current equipment fails to meet these standards, new equipment should be developed.
