A-82-163
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: AMEND 14 CFR 25.107, 25.111, AND 25.113 TO REQUIRE THAT MANUFACTURERS OF TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES PROVIDE SUFFICIENT DATA FOR OPERATORS TO DETERMINE THE LOWEST DECISION SPEED (V1) FOR AIRPLANE TAKEOFF WEIGHT, AMBIENT CONDITIONS, AND DEPARTURE RUNWAY LENGTH WHICH WILL COMPLY WITH EXISTING TAKEOFF CRITERIA IN THE EVENT OF AN ENGINE POWER LOSS AT OR AFTER REACHING V1. (Supersedes Safety Recommendations A-74-119 through -121 and A-76-136 and -137)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to amend 14 CFR 25.107, 25.111, and 25.113 to require transport-category airplane manufacturers to provide operators with sufficient data to determine the lowest decision speed (V1) for a given takeoff weight, ambient conditions, and departure runway length that still meets existing takeoff criteria after an engine power loss at or after reaching V1.
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.
