NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: INITIATE AN IMMEDIATE SURVEY OF B.F. GOODRICH MANUFACTURING FACILITIES BY A QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS REVIEW TEAM OR EQUIVALENT TO ASSURE THE MANUFACTURER'S COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS GOVERNING PRODUCTION CERTIFICATION AND SPECIFICALLY THE ISSUANCE AND APPROVAL OF SERVICE BULLETINS, INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING OF SERVICE DIFFICULTIES, MAINTENANCE OF APPROPRIATE PRODUCTION AND INSPECTION RECORDS, AND COORDINATION OF SERVICE DIFFICULTIES WITH PRIMARY AIRFRAME MANUFACTURERS. (URGENT)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to promptly conduct a survey of B.F. Goodrich manufacturing facilities using a quality assurance systems analysis review team or equivalent. The survey must verify the manufacturer's compliance with regulations on production certification, service bulletin issuance and approval, service difficulty investigation and reporting, maintenance of production and inspection records, and coordination of service difficulties with primary airframe manufacturers.
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.
