NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require that the length of oxygen mask hoses in the cockpits of airplanes used in 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 operations be increased, as necessary, to allow flight crews access to all required emergency equipment in the cockpit, as well as to additional emergency equipment provided by the cabin crew via the cockpit door, while oxygen masks are donned.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to mandate longer oxygen mask hoses in cockpits of commercial airplanes. This change would allow flight crews to reach all required emergency equipment in the cockpit and any additional equipment passed through the cockpit door by cabin crew while wearing their oxygen masks.
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.
