NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Disseminate to all principal inspectors of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 certificate holders and to all Part 135 certificate holders guidance that includes specific procedures, such as those contained in the draft revisions to Operations Specifications A-008, that detail appropriate methods by which a certificate holder can demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration that it is maintaining adequate operational control over all on-demand charter flights conducted under the authority of its certificate. This guidance should address operations based at locations geographically distant from the certificate holder’s base, should be included in all Part 135 certificate holders’ operations specifications, and should be required as periodic inspection items for principal inspectors.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to distribute to principal inspectors and all Part 135 certificate holders guidance containing specific procedures—such as those in draft revisions to Operations Specifications A-008—for ways certificate holders can show they maintain adequate operational control over all on-demand charter flights under their certificate. This guidance should particularly address operations at locations far from the certificate holder's base, must be included in all Part 135 operations specifications, and should be required as periodic inspection items for principal inspectors.
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.
