NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE NATIONAL BUSINESS AVIATION ASSOCIATION: Inform your members about the recent accidents that occurred during postmaintenance stall flight tests required for certain Hawker airplanes, including the Hawker 750, 800, 800XP, 850XP, 900XP, and others on type certificate A3EU, to increase owner, operator, and pilot awareness that unacceptable stall behavior may occur and that the flight crew training and experience needed to ensure the safety of these flights exceeds that which is typically provided to operational line pilots. (Urgent)
