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 risk assessment and mitigation strategies that includes but is not limited to information and checklists for performing preflight and in-flight site surveys, with special emphasis on attention management and obstacle collision avoidance strategies; information on the effects of density altitude, crosswinds, and aircraft weight and balance on aircraft performance during takeoff, landing, and while maneuvering; fuel management; and aerodynamic stall awareness and avoidance.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to work with the National Agricultural Aviation Research & Education Foundation to create and distribute guidance specifically for agricultural aircraft operations. This guidance should cover risk assessment and mitigation, including preflight and in-flight site survey checklists, obstacle collision avoidance, attention management, and factors affecting aircraft performance such as density altitude, crosswinds, weight and balance, fuel management, and stall awareness.
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.
