NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation

Recommendation text

TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Revise Federal Aviation Administration Order 8130.2G and related guidance or regulations, as necessary, to include provisions for the use of electronic data recordings from electronic flight displays, engine instruments, or other recording devices in support of Phase I flight testing of experimental amateur-built aircraft to document the aircraft performance data and operating envelope and develop an accurate and complete aircraft flight manual.

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to update Order 8130.2G and related guidance to allow the use of electronic data recordings from flight displays, engine instruments, or other devices during Phase I flight testing of experimental amateur-built aircraft. This would help document aircraft performance and operating envelope to create an accurate flight manual.

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.
