NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: If the Federal Aviation Administration’s test program recommended in Safety Recommendation A-11-50 establishes that the use of existing data-link technology, such as universal access transceivers, is a viable means of relaying collected information in real-time from an airborne platform, encourage and provide incentives to data link-equipped aircraft operators in Alaska to outfit their aircraft with weather-sensing equipment for real-time data relay.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to encourage and provide incentives to data link-equipped aircraft operators in Alaska to install weather-sensing equipment for real-time data relay, but only if the test program recommended in Safety Recommendation A-11-50 confirms that using existing data-link technology like universal access transceivers is a viable method for relaying collected information in real-time from an airborne platform.
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.
