NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: EMPHASIZE IN OPERATIONAL BULLETINS, THE AIRMAN'S INFORMATION MANUAL, AND PILOT TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT A GOOD OPERATING PRACTICE FOR PILOTS OF SINGLE-PILOT AIRPLANES IS TO MONITOR ONLY ASSIGNED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL COMMUNICATION FREQUENCIES AFTER A CLEARANCE ONTO AN ACTIVE RUNWAY FOR DEPARTURE, UNTIL FLIGHT FROM THE AIRPORT TRAFFIC AREA IS COMPLETED, OR AFTER RECEIPT OF CLEARANCE FOR LANDING, UNTIL THE LANDING AND TAXI ACROSS ALL ACTIVE RUNWAYS IS COMPLETED. (Supersedes Safety Recommendation A-79-042)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to emphasize in operational bulletins, the Airman's Information Manual, and pilot training programs that pilots of single-pilot airplanes should, after receiving a clearance onto an active runway for departure, monitor only assigned air traffic control communication frequencies until flight from the airport traffic area is completed, or after receiving a clearance for landing, until the landing and taxi across all active runways is completed.
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.
