NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation

Recommendation text

TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require that pilots who fly in 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 operations in an aircraft that requires a type rating gain a minimum level of flight time in that aircraft type, similar to that described in 14 CFR 121.434, taking into consideration the unique characteristics of Part 135 operations, to obtain consolidation of knowledge and skills.

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The FAA is asked to require that pilots operating under Part 135 in aircraft requiring a type rating obtain a minimum amount of flight time in that aircraft type, modeled after the requirements in Part 121.434, while accounting for the distinct nature of Part 135 operations, to ensure they consolidate their knowledge and skills.

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.
