A-10-135
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Until the redesigned Apical emergency float system is installed as described in Safety Recommendation A-10-133, at every maintenance activity that requires disconnection of the hoses, require a two-person inspection of the re-installation of the hoses from the mid and aft floats to the port fitting and to sign a maintenance checklist attesting to proper installation.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to mandate a two-person inspection and sign-off on maintenance checklists whenever hoses from the mid and aft floats to the port fitting are reconnected, until the redesigned Apical emergency float system from Safety Recommendation A-10-133 is installed.
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.
