NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: REVISE THE PROCEDURES WHICH ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED TO DEMONSTRATE MINIMUM LANDING DISTANCES FOR COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR 25.125 FOR CERTIFICATION OF TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES TO: (A) PROVIDE A HIGHER MARGIN OF SAFETY DURING CERTIFICATION AND (B) ESTABLISH LANDING DISTANCES WHICH ARE MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF THOSE ENCOUNTERED WHEN AN AIRPLANE IS OPERATED DURING AIR CARRIER SERVICE.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to revise the procedures used to show minimum landing distances for compliance with 14 CFR 25.125 during certification of transport category airplanes. The changes should provide a higher safety margin in certification and produce landing distances that better reflect those experienced in air carrier operations.
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.
