NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION THAT: (1) ALL ICE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT INSTALLED ON AIRCRAFT IN THE FUTURE MEET THE APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT OF PART 25. (2) CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A REQUIREMENT WHEREBY ALL AIRCRAFT EMPLOYED BY AIR CARRIER AND AIR TAXI OPERATORS IN THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MEET THESE SAME PART 25 SPECIFICATIONS. (3) AN INTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM BE CONDUCTED TO ALERT THE OPERATORS TO THE LIMITS OF EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR ICE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to ensure that future ice protection equipment meets Part 25 certification requirements. It should also consider requiring all aircraft used by air carrier and air taxi operators for passenger transport to meet those same Part 25 specifications. Additionally, an intensive educational program must be conducted to alert operators about the limits of their ice protection equipment's effectiveness.
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.
