In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to issue a Part 135 Air Carrier Operations Bulletin that directs Principal Operations Inspectors to ensure commuter air carrier training programs emphasize differences in cockpit instrumentation and equipment across their fleet and cover human engineering aspects and human performance problems related to those differences.
