A-82-168
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: IN COORDINATION WITH THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION, EXPAND THE CURRENT RESEARCH PROGRAM TO EVALUATE RUNWAY FRICTION MEASURING DEVICES WHICH CORRELATE FRICTION MEASUREMENTS WITH AIRPLANE STOPPING PERFORMANCE TO EXAMINE THE USE OF AIRPLANE SYSTEMS SUCH AS ANTISKID BRAKE AND INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEMS TO CALCULATE AND DISPLAY IN THE COCKPIT MEASUREMENTS OF ACTUAL EFFECTIVE BRAKING COEFFICIENTS ATTAINED. (Supersedes Safety Recommendations A-74-119 through -121 and A-76-136 and -137)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration, in coordination with NASA, is asked to expand the research program on runway friction measuring devices that correlate friction measurements with airplane stopping performance. This includes studying the use of airplane systems such as antiskid brakes and inertial navigation to calculate and display in the cockpit measurements of actual effective braking coefficients attained.
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.
