NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: REVIEW THE CRITERIA CURRENTLY PRESCRIBED FOR EVALUATING THE TYPE-RATING REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESSIVE MODELS OF TURBOJET AIRPLANES BUILT BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER EVOLVING FROM AN ORIGINAL DESIGN, TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION OF PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES, OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS, UNIQUE OPERATIONAL NORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, AND SYSTEMS DESIGN. IF THE CRITERIA ARE FOUND TO BE INADEQUATE, REVISE THEM APPROPRIATELY, AND REVIEW EXISTENT TYPE-RATING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE NEW CRITERIA.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The National Transportation Safety Board asks the Federal Aviation Administration to review the current criteria used to decide whether pilots need a new type rating for successive turbojet airplane models from the same manufacturer, to ensure the criteria adequately address performance differences, operating environments, normal and emergency procedures, and systems design. If the criteria are insufficient, the FAA should revise them and then re-evaluate existing type-rating requirements.
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.
