If appropriate, modify certification standards and test methods for future slide and slide/raft design based on the results of this evaluation.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to work with slide and raft manufacturers to analyze information from this accident and evaluate whether current certification standards and test methods are adequate. If needed, the FAA should update those standards and methods for future slide and raft designs.
