A-82-156
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: AMEND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL PROCEDURES TO REQUIRE THAT CONTROLLERS MAKE FREQUENT REQUESTS FOR PILOT BRAKING ACTION REPORTS WHICH INCLUDE AN ASSESSMENT OF BRAKING ACTION ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE RUNWAY WHENEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE TO DETERIORATING BRAKING CONDITIONS AND THAT THE REQUESTS BE MADE WELL BEFORE THE PILOT LANDS. (Supersedes Safety Recommendations A-74-119 through -121 and A-76-136 and -137)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to update air traffic control procedures so that controllers frequently ask pilots for braking action reports, including a runway-length assessment, when weather could cause poor braking, and to ask well before landing.
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.
