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, AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS HANDBOOKS AND BULLETINS AND AIR CARRIER INSPECTION TRAINING PROGRAMS TO INCLUDE INSTRUCTION TO PREPARE FAA INSPECTORS TO PROVIDE BETTER GUIDANCE TO AIRLINES WHEN ASSISTING THEM IN IMPROVING THE CONTENT AND PRESENTATION OF PASSENGER SAFETY INFORMATION TO THEIR PASSENGERS.

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The FAA is asked to revise its air carrier operations handbooks and bulletins, as well as its air carrier inspection training programs, based on test results of passenger comprehension of safety information and performance of emergency procedures. The revisions should include instruction to prepare FAA inspectors to provide better guidance to airlines in improving the content and presentation of passenger 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.
