NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT DESIGN FEATURES CAN BE INCORPORATED IN NEW PROPELLER-POWERED AIRPLANES THAT WILL REDUCE THE POTENTIAL OF INJURY TO PERSONS SEATED IN AREAS WITHIN THE PLANE OF ROTATION OF ENGINE PROPELLERS OR THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR PASSENGER SEATING ARRANGEMENTS TOTALLY OUTSIDE THE PLANE OF PROPELLER ROTATION, TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO INCLUDE THESE FEATURES INTO 14 CFR 25 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to incorporate design features into 14 CFR 25 requirements for new propeller-powered airplanes if those features are found to reduce injury risk from propellers or allow seating outside the propeller rotation plane.
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.
