In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to ensure the NTSB is immediately notified whenever explosives, radioactive substances, or other hazardous materials are found on aircraft involved in accidents or incidents. This prompt communication allows the NTSB to alert emergency responders at the scene about potential additional dangers posed by these specific items.
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.
