A-81-132
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
BASED ON INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN SPECIAL INVESTIGATION REPORT NTSB-SIR-81-6, THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: UPGRADE THE SIMULATION PROGRAM AT TERMINAL FACILITIES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATED RADAR SO THAT RADAR TRAINING AND TESTING MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED MAINLY VIA SIMULATION. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO A SYSTEM SIMILAR TO THAT AT THE FAA'S RADAR TRAINING FACILITY IN OKLAHOMA CITY.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to upgrade its simulation program at terminal facilities equipped with automated radar, aiming to conduct radar training and testing primarily through simulation. The FAA should consider a system similar to the one at its Radar Training Facility in Oklahoma City.
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.
