NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Conduct a review of all flight data recorder systems that have been modified by a supplemental type certificate to determine the reliability of all sensors used as flight control surface position sensors. If the review determines that a sensor does not provide reliable flight control surface position data, require that the sensor be replaced with a more reliable sensor.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to review all flight data recorder systems that have been modified under a supplemental type certificate, to assess whether the sensors used as flight control surface position sensors are reliable. If any sensor is found to provide unreliable data, the FAA must require its replacement with a more reliable sensor.
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.
