NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: AMEND 14 CFR121.135 TO REQUIRE THAT AIR CARRIERS AND OTHER COMMERCIAL OPERATORS OF LARGE TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES INCLUDE IN FLIGHTCREW OPERATIONS MANUALS TAKEOFF ACCELERATION RETARDATION DATA IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDANCE PROVIDED IN ADVISORY CIRCULAR 91-6A AND STOPPING PERFORMANCE DATA ON SURFACES HAVING LOW FRICTION COEFFICIENTS, BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY WHEN SUCH DATA ARE AVAILABLE FROM AIRPLANE MANUFACTURERS. (Supersedes Safety Recommendations A-74-119 through -121 and A-76-136 and -137)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to amend 14 CFR 121.135 to mandate that air carriers and other commercial operators of large transport category airplanes incorporate takeoff acceleration retardation data (as outlined in Advisory Circular 91-6A) and stopping performance data for low-friction surfaces into their flightcrew operations manuals. This requirement is to take effect immediately once such data becomes available from airplane manufacturers.
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.
