NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Revise available safety assessment guidance (such as Advisory Circular 25.1309-1A) for manufacturers to adequately address the deficiencies identified in Safety Recommendation A-10-51, require that designated engineering representatives and their Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mentors are trained on this methodology, and modify FAA design oversight procedures to ensure that manufacturers are performing system safety analyses for all new or modified designs that effectively identify and properly mitigate hazards for all phases of flight, including foreseeable events during those phases (such as a rejected takeoff).
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to update its safety assessment guidance (like Advisory Circular 25.1309-1A) to fix issues found in an earlier safety recommendation, ensure that designated engineering representatives and their FAA mentors are trained on this updated methodology, and revise oversight procedures so that manufacturers properly analyze and mitigate hazards for all flight phases and foreseeable events, such as rejected takeoffs.
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.
