NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ELECTRA AIR START ACCESS DOORS ARE MODIFIED ISSUE AN AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS BULLETIN TO HAVE PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS INSPECTORS INFORM OPERATORS OF ELECTRA AIRCRAFT OF THE POTENTIAL OF AN OPEN AIR START ACCESS DOOR TO CAUSE VIBRATION OR BUFFET DURING TAKEOFF AND INFLIGHT, AND ENSURE THAT SUCH INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN RECURRENT PILOT TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR THESE OPERATORS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to issue an air carrier operations bulletin directing principal operations inspectors to notify operators of Electra aircraft that an open air start access door may cause vibration or buffet during takeoff and inflight, and to incorporate this information into recurrent pilot training programs for those operators.
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.
