A-85-115

In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is asked to issue an operations bulletin directing general aviation inspectors and accident prevention specialists to encourage operators of transport category airplanes in general aviation to use minimum landing runway lengths that provide the safety margin required by 14 CFR Part 135 or, at minimum, a safety margin consistent with the airplane’s emergency brake system performance. The bulletin should highlight the use of the emergency brake system or alternate emergency procedures, such as aborted landings, not only for preplanned failed brake landings but also in the event brakes fail after touchdown. Copies of the bulletin should be provided to the National Business Aircraft Association for distribution to its members.
