NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL AVIATION RESEARCH AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION: Work with the Federal Aviation Administration to 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 National Agricultural Aviation Research and Education Foundation is asked to collaborate with the Federal Aviation Administration in creating and sharing guidance tailored to agricultural aircraft operations. This guidance should address fatigue, fatigue management strategies, and scheduling practices to lower the risk of fatigue, dehydration, hunger, and other physiological factors that impair pilot 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.
