NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Review and revise the process through which the transfer of a Part 135 air carriers operating certificate from one Flight Standards District Office to another is granted to ensure the adequate oversight of such carriers. Further, ensure that, before granting an operators request to transfer an operating certificate, appropriate geographic oversight is in place at the new office and that the justification for the transfer has been adequately documented and reviewed.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to review and revise how it handles the transfer of a Part 135 air carrier's operating certificate between Flight Standards District Offices, ensuring adequate oversight. Additionally, before approving a transfer, the FAA must confirm that the new office has appropriate geographic oversight and that the operator's justification for the transfer is properly documented and reviewed.
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.
