NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Work with Boeing to (1) assess the effectiveness of flare cueing systems to assist MD-11 pilots in making timely and appropriate inputs during the landing flare, (2) provide a formal report on the findings of the assessment, and (3) if the assessment shows that flare cueing systems could be useful to MD-11 pilots, provide copies of the report to all US operators of MD-11 airplanes and encourage them to install such a system on these airplanes.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to collaborate with Boeing on evaluating how flare cueing systems could help MD-11 pilots during landing. They must produce a formal report of the findings, and if the systems prove beneficial, distribute the report to all US MD-11 operators and urge them to install such systems.
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.
