Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: ESTABLISH AN AD HOC TASK FORCE, INCLUDING CONTROLLER AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE EXPERTISE, TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE MEMORY AIDS THAT WOULD REDUCE INCIDENTS OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS FORGETTING TRAFFIC, AND TO INCORPORATE A DESCRIPTION OF THESE MEMORY AIDS AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE USED IN THE ATC ACADEMY CONTROLLER TRAINING SYLLABUS AND IN THE TOWER FACILITY TRAINING PROGRAM. (Supersedes Safety Recommendation A-79-042)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to create an ad hoc task force with expertise in controllers and human performance to develop effective memory aids that would reduce incidents of air traffic controllers forgetting traffic. The FAA must also include a description of these memory aids and how they should be used in the ATC Academy controller training syllabus and in the tower facility training program. This recommendation supersedes Safety Recommendation A-79-042.
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.
