NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require that all unmanned aircraft system operators report to the Federal Aviation Administration, in writing within 30 days of occurrence, all incidents and malfunctions that affect safety; require that operators are analyzing these data in an effort to improve safety; and evaluate these data to determine whether programs and procedures, including those under air traffic control, remain effective in mitigating safety risks.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require all unmanned aircraft system operators to report in writing within 30 days any incidents or malfunctions that affect safety. Operators must also analyze this data to improve safety, and the FAA must evaluate the data to ensure that programs and procedures, including those under air traffic control, remain effective in mitigating safety risks.
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.
