NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH CAB CONSIDERATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR REPLACEMENT SERVICE, CERTIFY THE APPLICANT'S SAFETY FITNESS BASED ON AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE PROPOSED REPLACEMENT OPERATOR'S MANAGERIAL AND OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SAFETY IN THE INTENDED SERVICE EQUIVALENT TO THAT REQUIRED OF THE CERTIFICATE OF CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY HOLDER. THE SAFETY STANDARDS AGAINST WHICH THE REPLACEMENT OPERATOR'S MANAGERIAL CAPABILITY ARE JUDGED SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO THOSE IN 14 CFR 121.59 AND 121.61, WITH EMPHASIS ON 121.59(B). (URGENT)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is urged to immediately, while the Civil Aeronautics Board considers an application for replacement service, evaluate the safety fitness of an applicant through an on-site investigation of the replacement operator's management and operations, ensuring they meet safety standards comparable to those required for a certificate of convenience and necessity holder, specifically similar to 14 CFR 121.59 and 121.61 with emphasis on 121.59(b).
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.
