NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, THE GENERAL AVIATION MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION, AND THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION CONDUCT A JOINT STUDY TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL AND FEASIBILITY FOR REDUCING STALL/SPIN ACCIDENTS THROUGH ENHANCED AIRPLANE DESIGN CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGY. SPECIFIC CONSIDERATION, FOR EXAMPLE, MIGHT BE GIVEN TO USING APPLICABLE STOL TECHNOLOGY, IMPROVED STALL WARNING EQUIPMENT, MODIFICATION KITS AIMED AT IMPROVING THE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF PRESENT AIRCRAFT, DIRECT LIFT SYSTEMS, ETC.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, and NASA are asked to jointly study how enhanced airplane design using current technology could reduce stall/spin accidents. The study should consider options like STOL technology, better stall warning equipment, modification kits for improved handling, and direct lift systems.
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.
