NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO AVIATION INDUSTRY GROUPS (AIRCRAFT OWNERS AND PILOTS ASSOCIATION, EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION, NATIONAL BUSINESS AVIATION ASSOCIATION, TOUR OPERATORS PROGRAM OF SAFETY, TONGASS AIRCRAFT PILOTS ASSOCIATION, AND HELICOPTER ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL): Inform your members about the circumstances of this accident and encourage them to take the following actions: (1) become familiar with the traffic display equipment installed in their aircraft; (2) if their equipment does not provide an aural alert concerning proximate targets that might pose a collision threat, encourage pilots/operators to supplement the equipment with devices that provide both an aural and visual alert; and (3) remind pilots to include the traffic display when scanning for traffic through the aircraft’s windows.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The aviation industry groups, including the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Experimental Aircraft Association, National Business Aviation Association, Tour Operators Program of Safety, Tongass Aircraft Pilots Association, and Helicopter Association International, are asked to inform their members about this accident's circumstances and encourage three actions: becoming familiar with their aircraft's traffic display equipment; supplementing that equipment with aural and visual alert devices if it lacks aural alerts for collision threats; and including the traffic display in their visual scan for other aircraft.
