NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Collaborate with aircraft and avionics manufacturers and software developers to develop the technology for a cockpit system that provides an alert to pilots when an airplane is not aligned with the intended runway surface, and, once such technology is available, establish a requirement for the technology to be installed on airplanes landing at primary airports within Class B and Class C airspace.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to work with aircraft and avionics manufacturers and software developers to create a cockpit system that warns pilots when an airplane is not aligned with the intended runway. Once such technology is developed, the FAA must require its installation on airplanes that land at primary airports within Class B and Class C airspace.
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.
