THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINSTRATION: GENERATE, THROUGH A STRATIFIED SAMPLING OF GENERAL AVIATION PILOTS, THE DATE, DURATION, AIRCRAFT MAKE AND MODEL, THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF THE FLIGHT, AND THE FLIGHT TIME IN IFR, HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE, AND WIND CONDITIONS, ALL ON A PER FLIGHT BASIS; THE DATA COLLECTED SHOULD INCLUDE THE PILOT'S TOTAL TIME, TIME IN EACH TYPE AIRCRAFT FLOWN, AGE, OCCUPATION, CERTIFICATE, AND MEDICAL WAIVERS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to collect detailed data from a stratified sample of general aviation pilots, including per-flight information such as date, duration, aircraft make and model, location, and flight time in IFR, high density altitude, and wind conditions, along with pilot-specific details like total time, time in each aircraft type, age, occupation, certificate, and medical waivers.
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.
