NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require Cessna to perform analysis and conduct a test to demonstrate that the maximum control forces in a Cessna Citation 525 meet the certification requirements of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 23 during a pitch trim runaway condition. The analysis and test should comply with the pilot-recognition time requirements provided in Advisory Circular 23-8, Flight Test Guide for Certification of Part 23 Airplanes. If, after accomplishing the analysis and test, Cessna is unable to demonstrate that the Citation 525 meets the certification requirements, require Cessna to take corrective action so that the airplane does meet certification requirements.
