NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: ISSUE AN AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS BULLETIN, OR REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS MANUAL, ABNORMAL PROCEDURES/EXPANDED CHECKLIST SECTION AND HYDRAULIC-ALTERNATE OPERATIONS SECTION, TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED BY A FLIGHTCREW AFTER A TIRE HAS EXPLODED IN A WHEEL WELL. THE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE BASED, IN PART, ON THE DISCUSSION IN THE LETTER TRANSMITTING THIS RECOMMENDATION.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to issue an air carrier operations bulletin or add information to the aircraft operations manual, specifically in the abnormal procedures/expanded checklist and hydraulic-alternate operations sections. This information should provide instructions for flightcrews after a tire explodes in a wheel well, based in part on the discussion in the letter transmitting the recommendation.
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.
