NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation

Recommendation text

TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Establish a requirement that manufacturers provide, as part of the initial certification of a new general aviation turbojet airplane, a training guide for pilot transition into the airplane. The training guide should encompass the entire flight envelope in which the airplane will be operating and any unique aspects of its systems design, handling characteristics, and performance including the hazards of exceeding the flight envelope. The training guide should be an approved manual for use by appropriate inspectors, pilot schools, flight instructors, and pilot examiners.
