NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation

Recommendation text

TO EUROPEAN UNION AVIATION SAFETY AGENCY: Identify all currently certificated transport-category airplanes for which system safety assessments for landing gear systems did not consider human error that could lead to cross-wiring of antiskid brake system components, including the wheel speed transducers, and require manufacturers of transport-category airplanes without such assessments to perform the assessments and then implement mitigations to prevent cross-wiring of antiskid brake system components.

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency is asked to identify all transport-category airplanes whose landing-gear system safety assessments omitted human error that could lead to cross-wiring of antiskid brake system components, including wheel speed transducers. For airplanes missing such assessments, EASA must require manufacturers to perform them and implement mitigations to prevent cross-wiring.

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.
