NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION EXAMINE THE OPERATING PROCEDURES USED BY GRAND CANYON SIGHTSEEING TOUR OPERATORS AND, IF NECESSARY, DEVELOP AND PUBLISH STANDARDS FOR OPERATING PROCEDURES, INCLUDING ROUTE SELECTION, FLIGHT SCHEDULING, AND ALTITUDE SELECTION FOR SIGHTSEEING FLIGHTS IN THE CANYON, AND REQUIRE THAT OPERATORS INCORPORATE THESE STANDARDS IN THEIR OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to review operating procedures of Grand Canyon sightseeing tour operators, and if needed, create and publish standards for route selection, flight scheduling, and altitude selection, then require operators to include these standards in their operations specifications.
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.
