NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Identify which airplanes operated under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121, 135, and 91K are susceptible to tailplane stalls and then (1) require operators of those airplanes to provide an appropriate airplane-specific tailplane stall recovery procedure in their training manuals and company procedures and (2) direct operators of those airplanes that are not susceptible to tailplane stalls to ensure that training and company guidance for the airplanes explicitly states this lack of susceptibility and contains no references to tailplane stall recovery procedures.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to identify which Part 121, 135, and 91K airplanes are susceptible to tailplane stalls. For susceptible airplanes, operators must be required to include airplane-specific tailplane stall recovery procedures in training manuals and company procedures. For non-susceptible airplanes, operators must ensure their training and guidance explicitly state the lack of susceptibility and omit any tailplane stall recovery references.
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.
