NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: AMEND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL HANDBOOK 7110.65B TO REQUIRE A CONTROLLER WHO RECEIVES A NOTIFICATION FROM A JUMP AIRCRAFT, REQUIRED BY 14 CFR 105.14, THAT THE JUMPERS WILL DESCEND INTO ANOTHER FACILITY'S AIRSPACE COORDINATE WITH THAT FACILITY SO THAT A COMPLETE EXCHANGE OF TRAFFIC CAN BE EFFECTED BETWEEN THE JUMP AIRCRAFT, THE JUMPERS, AND ALL POTENTIALLY CONFLICTING AIRCRAFT INVOLVED.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to amend its Air Traffic Control Handbook 7110.65B to require controllers who receive a notification from a jump aircraft that jumpers will descend into another facility's airspace to coordinate with that facility. This coordination is intended to enable a complete exchange of traffic information among the jump aircraft, the jumpers, and all potentially conflicting aircraft.
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.
