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 modifying the operating limitations of aircraft previously certificated as experimental, operating amateur-built, such as returning the aircraft to Phase I flight testing, as necessary, to address identified safety concerns or to correct deficiencies in the aircraft flight manual or equivalent documents.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to revise Order 8130.2G and related guidance to add rules for changing the operating limits of aircraft that were previously certified as experimental amateur-built. This should allow returning those aircraft to Phase I flight testing when needed to fix safety issues or correct deficiencies in their flight manuals or equivalent documents.
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.
