NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE BOEING COMPANY: In collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration,(1) assess methods for providing weight-on-wheels cueing to MD-11 pilots to enhance pilot awareness of bounced landings and facilitate proper pilot reaction and effective control inputs when bounced landings occur, (2) provide a formal report on the findings of the assessment, and (3) if the assessment shows that the weight-on-wheels cueing methods could be useful to MD-11 pilots, provide copies of the report to all US operators of MD-11 airplanes and encourage them to provide a means for weight-on-wheels cueing on these airplanes.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
Boeing, in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration, is asked to evaluate methods for providing weight-on-wheels cueing to MD-11 pilots to improve awareness and reaction during bounced landings. They must also submit a formal report on the findings and, if beneficial, share it with US MD-11 operators and encourage them to implement such cueing.
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.
