NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Modify 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 to include a certification standard that will ensure either that 1) the takeoff warning system (TOWS) cannot be disabled by a single failure or 2) if the system fails or has power removed while the airplane is operating on the ground, a discrete and clear annunciation of the loss of TOWS protection is provided to flight crews.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration must update 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 to require either that the takeoff warning system cannot be disabled by a single failure or, if it fails or loses power while the airplane is on the ground, a clear warning is given to the flight crew.
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.
