NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: REVISE, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF TESTING OF PASSENGER COMPREHENSION OF SAFETY INFORMATION AND PERFORMANCE OF EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, THE ADVISORY CIRCULAR ENTITLED "PASSENGER SAFETY INFORMATION BRIEFINGS AND BRIEFING CARDS" (AC-121-24, DATED JUNE 23, 1977, AND AC-135-12, DATED OCTOBER 9, 1984) TO INCLUDE IMPROVED GUIDELINES ON THE CONTENT AND PRESENTATION METHODS USED IN ORAL AND VIDEOTAPED SAFETY BRIEFINGS, AND FOR PICTORIAL AND PRINTED INFORMATION ON SAFETY CARDS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to revise two advisory circulars (AC-121-24 and AC-135-12) that govern passenger safety briefings and briefing cards. Using test results on how well passengers understand safety information and perform emergency procedures, the revised circulars should provide better guidelines for the content and presentation of oral, videotaped, and printed safety information.
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.
