Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD: IN PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING THE SUSPENSION OF SERVICE BY A CERTIFICATED CARRIER AND THE SUBSTITUTION OF SERVICE BY AN AIR TAXI COMMUTER OPERATOR, REQUEST OF THE FAA A WRITTEN SAFETY EVALUATION OF SUCH OPERATOR; MAKE A SPECIFIC FINDING AS TO THE OPERATOR'S SAFETY FITNESS; AND PLACE THE FAA EVALUATION IN THE PUBLIC DOCKET OF SUCH PROCEEDING. THE SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE FAA SHOULD INCLUDE ALL ACCIDENT DATA CONCERNING SUCH OPERATOR AVAILABLE IN THE FILES OF THE NTSB.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the Civil Aeronautics Board to, in proceedings where a certificated carrier's service is suspended and replaced by an air taxi commuter operator, request a written safety evaluation from the FAA, make a specific finding on the operator's safety fitness, and place the FAA evaluation in the public docket. The evaluation should include all accident data on the operator that the NTSB has.
