NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: In conjunction with the National Agricultural Aviation Research & Education Foundation, develop and distribute agricultural aircraft operations-specific guidance on fatigue, fatigue management strategies, and scheduling practices to help reduce the likelihood of fatigue, dehydration, hunger, and other physiological factors that can negatively affect a pilot’s concentration, decision-making, and performance.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA, in partnership with the National Agricultural Aviation Research & Education Foundation, is asked to develop and distribute guidance specific to agricultural aircraft operations. The guidance should address fatigue, fatigue management, and scheduling practices to reduce the likelihood of fatigue, dehydration, hunger, and other physiological factors that can impair pilots' concentration, decision-making, and performance.
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.
