NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Issue and periodically update a special airworthiness information bulletin that lists newly manufactured helicopters that are equipped with features likely to reduce accidents resulting from inadvertent encounters with instrument meteorological conditions, describes retrofit options for helicopters that do not have such equipment, and encourages the voluntary integration of these safety features.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to issue and periodically update a special airworthiness information bulletin. The bulletin should list newly manufactured helicopters with features that reduce accidents from inadvertent encounters with instrument meteorological conditions, describe retrofit options for helicopters lacking such equipment, and encourage voluntary integration of these safety features.
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.
